🏆 25 World Championships 🏁 Over 200 race wins 🎯 130+ Pole Positions ⚡ 150+ Fastest Laps Nobody has won more than Adrian Newey in Formula 1. This contribution to the sport stands at nearly 20% of all-time wins in the sport. Earlier this week, Aston Martin F1 Team officially announced Newey as their managing technical partner, set to lead the redesign of their 2025 car and drive the team toward the top of Formula 1. The 65-year-old has signed a long-term contract and will also become a shareholder in the team. Why is this set to shake things up? 1. Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology lose their technical genius of 19 years; "Losing Newey would of course be a big disadvantage, also because it would mean that another team would then get him,” Helmut Marko said. “In that case, he takes with him not only the knowledge, but also an incredible wealth of experience." 2. The wealth of experience is directly translated to Aston Martin, a team owned by Lawrence Stroll, who are heavily investing in the right people and resources to be on top of the grid. A car driven by Fernando Alonso, arguably, the best driver considered by many on the grid, is the other piece of the puzzle, which is already in place. 3. Opening new doors: Max Verstappen is currently chasing his 4th consecutive world title in a Newey-designed car. Although he is in the lead at the moment, the decline in Red Bull's performance post Newey's sign-off is observable. Would Verstappen be keeping an eye on the movement within the 2026 Aston Martin camp? Only time will tell. Will Newey’s move shift the balance of power in Formula 1?

🏆🏆🏆🏆 4th Formula 1 Title in a Row 🏆🏆🏆🏆 Congrat Max Verstapen congratulations Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology Congrat Christian Horner CBE for such a longevity. This 4th title is definitely the one of Maturity for Max. - After a near-perfect start to the season, the turbulences in the team, the battles for influence and the drop in performance could have had an impact on his driving. But it was precisely at these delicate moments that Max (while his team-mate was literally sinking) kept his team afloat and gave them the confidence to win the title. - Under pressure, the competitors made mistakes, but he didn't, with that masterpiece in Brazil, which put an end to all suspense. - When you stop judging people and focus on the facts, you can't but salute the performance. I salute it doubly in view of what he said after the race about staying with the team. “When there are difficult moments, it's very easy to say goodbye, forget them or ignore them. But I think it's actually much more important to face them and get through them together.” Let's not forget that the vast majority of great champions have something special - resisting under pressure, - Consistency over time - taking good decisions at the right moment - influencing and federate people, - returning a bad situation to their advantage  - Overtaking blocking situation People like Schumacher, Prost, Senna, Lauda, Hakinen, Hamilton were Special, so is Max. . I can't wait to see what happens next year, because the upheavals at Red Bull and the associated departures have left their mark, and the competition will be even fiercer.
