Hill: “Newey is like Moses, he will find the solution”

Aston Martin in crisis Lawrence Stroll had spared no expense to bring the brilliant designer Adrian Newey to Aston Martin and with him a series of reference technical figures (Enrico Cardile, Andy Cowell) with the aim of excelling with the new regulations of 2026. Except that Honda was not as ready and the English team is currently the tenth fastest team on the track, ahead of only the debutant Cadillac.
In short, Aston Martin is the big disappointment of this start to the championship and it is not clear how long it will take to see Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll fighting for the top positions, if it ever happens. Damon Hill compares Newey to Moses On the podcast The Undercut, the 1996 world champion Damon Hill – who won his world title with Newey as a designer – analyzed the Aston Martin situation as follows: “Continuing to push in that direction will lead to something, but it will take time. We will have to see if there are too many problems, but I have faith. Newey knows that things will settle down and at the end of the season, when we look back, we will have proof of this. He has a vision that aims for perfection and he wants that everyone is united and therefore he will insist. It’s like Moses: everyone wonders about the promised land and doubts that they will reach it, Adrian asks for faith that they will reach it while everyone wonders if he has lost his mind.” Martin Brundle: “Aston Martin like a Premier League club” The former Formula 1 driver, Martin Brundle explained to Sky Sports UK: “Jonathan Wheatley would be a good signing for them. But they need to stabilize and reach a certain level. At the moment they seem like a Premier League club that constantly changes the manager. This makes everyone else hide because they don’t know what will happen and who they have to answer to, or what strategy there is. In Aston Martin there has been a coming and going of managers, they have taken some rather curious decisions in my opinion. Hiring Wheatley is a smart move, for his pragmatism and his vision.”
