Design legend Adrian Newey will become Team Principal of Aston Martin at the start of next year, as part of an extension of his role as Managing Technical Partner.
“Team principal” is a pretty meaningless term, the actual question is what his actual work will be in the structure.
The announcement says Cowell will be in a coordination role for their technical partnership with Honda, Aramco and Valvoline - so that’s of course the engine stuff and hands-on technical stuff.
While Newey will take over leadership of the trackside team.
But this still can be interpreted in different ways. It might be the most similar to how Audi do it with Wheatley and Binotto.
