After Adrian Newey joins the Aston Martin Racing team, he will also be joined by the well-known and loved engine supplier, Honda, which has already been very well known and appreciated by the "wizard" for a year.
Honda Racing Corporation boss believes Adrian Newey's involvement at Aston Martin means they will build the best car on the grid together. Koji Watanabe believes Newey's arrival will allow them to match or even surpass Red Bull Racing's successes, making them the best team in the world.
“It’s very inspiring to see Aston Martin working tirelessly to take the team forward. It’s really great to see the investment in infrastructure and people, such as building a state-of-the-art wind tunnel and HQ, and hiring Adrian Newey. I know Adrian, we’ve worked together before, and he’s driven by an incredible passion to build fast cars. While they’re working on the chassis and we’re working on the engine, there’s bound to be some friction, which we need to be prepared for. But if we can get through this and sort it out, we’ll build the best car in the world. And if that happens, we’ll be the best team in the world!”
