Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has backed managing technical partner and shareholder Adrian Newey to turn Aston Martin around, stating that future success for the Silverstone-based team is only a matter of time. Montoya's comments follow Newey's arrival at the team in 2025.
Aston Martin has endured a difficult start to the 2025 Formula 1 season, which Newey described as a "nightmare" and a "disastrous start." However, the team debuted a heavily revised AMR26 car featuring a major upgrade package at the Hungaroring, with Newey revealing that the updates are only the first part of a broader development plan for the team.
Alongside the technical updates and Newey's leadership, Newey has also indicated an expectation that driver Fernando Alonso will remain with Aston Martin, as the team looks to move past its early-season struggles.
