Adrian Newey: "Scary" F1 2026 rules actually have room for innovation

  • Adrian Newey, who leads the technical development for Aston Martin’s F1 program, emphasized that the concurrent changes to both chassis and power unit regulations in 2026 represent a major and challenging milestone.
  • He explained that this combined change creates a 'slightly scary' challenge but noted parallels with the 2022 regulation shifts that initially seemed prescriptive.
  • Newey focused on the smaller, lighter 2026 cars featuring active aerodynamics and a revised engine formula, emphasizing the regulations still allow diverse innovative solutions.
  • He expressed trust in Honda, Aston Martin's new engine partner returning after a year out, describing them as a 'great group of engineers' despite some catch-up challenges.
  • Newey's involvement aims to position Aston Martin as a frontrunner in 2026 and beyond amid uncertainty about how the tight 2025 grid performance will change.
