Aston Martin’s newly appointed technical chief Adrian Newey has broken his silence on a period of health difficulties, saying he is doing “ok now” after what he described as a challenging time.
The legendary Formula 1 designer, who made a high-profile move to Aston Martin from Red Bull, acknowledged that his wellbeing had been a concern in recent months but stopped short of providing specific details about the nature of his health issues.
Newey’s arrival at Aston Martin was one of the most talked-about developments in Formula 1 ahead of the current season, with the team signing the most celebrated technical mind in the sport’s modern era. His ability to contribute fully to the team’s ambitious development programme had been a topic of speculation given the health reports surrounding him.
With Newey now indicating he is recovering and in a better place, Aston Martin fans will be hopeful that the 65-year-old can begin making his full influence felt as the team pushes to close the gap to the frontrunners in the constructors’ championship. No further details regarding the nature of his condition were disclosed.
