Rumors of health problems for Newey, Aston Martin denies

The absence of Adrian Newey As highlighted in yesterday’s article relating to the Aston Martin situation, the last presence of team principal Adrian Newey on the track dates back to last March 8, or the inaugural grand prix of the 2026 season, that of Melbourne. An absence that is starting to make noise, especially due to the unexpected difficulties that the English team is having. The Daily Mail’s revelation: Newey in hospital An explanation for his absence came from journalist Jonathan McEvoy from the columns of the Daily Mail: “I can reveal that Adrian Newey has been dealing with a period of illness which has required hospitalization. The 67-year-old was not in Miami last weekend, as he was recovering from an issue which had afflicted him for some weeks. A well-informed source revealed that Newey is for now working mainly from home in the village of Sunninghill, Berkshire.” Aston Martin’s denial The Daily Mail then contacted Aston Martin for a reply: “We do not comment on personal matters relating to any of our team members. Adrian is working and was on site last week.” The English team therefore downplayed the rumors coming from England.
