Aston Martin boss Andy Cowell has explained how the team is preparing for next year’s Formula 1<\/a> season, along with the accompanying new set of regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sport is readying itself for the start of a new era, with new rules signifying a huge change in cars, both aerodynamically and in terms of engine power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant number of eyes may be on the Silverstone-based squad for reasons that are two-fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the team will begin a new era as a user of Honda power units, as the Japanese marque returns after quitting the sport at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, Aston will take to the track with a car designed on the drawing board of famed technical guru Adrian Newey, who formally joined the team in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowell revealed his own personal approach since joining the team, initially as Group CEO in 2024, in an interview with RacingNews365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoining the team, I was keen to learn about the team overall and then dig down into the world of aerodynamics as an area that I knew of, but not any great detail as to what an aerodynamicist does,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd then you pull a plan together, and you get stuck into going from what you can see to where you’d like the team to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat learning just carries on. Every day is a new experience of learning and reflecting and thinking about \u2018what’s the core purpose of the team?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting everybody focused on the objective of making our formula Aston Martin, powered by Honda racing car, to be better and measured against our reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do we get it so that every single area of our business focuses on performance improvement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe steeper we can make that curve, the quicker we will improve, which means you overtake the opposition. And if you keep focused on that. You don’t let glory pollute your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou stay ahead, so it’s trying to get everything aligned to that, listening to all the requests and working out, what are we going to do, first, second and third – because you can’t do everything at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aston Martin boss Andy Cowell is hopeful that the team will be competitive in the new era of F1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aston Martin aiming to be strong across future F1 seasons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since Lawrence Stroll took ownership, the team, then known as Racing Point, has undergone several changes, not just in its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of its recent statements has been the continual growth and expansion of its technology campus at Silverstone, not just the addition of personnel such as Newey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChange is not trivial,\u201d Cowell explained. \u201cWe’re going racing, we’re engineering a car for next year, adding change on top of that is extra workload. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Making change requires extra effort. There are always hurdles. There’s always a feeling of, \u2018do we really need to?\u2019 and it’s just leaning into that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s leaning into that and keeping the medium to long-term focus, because it\u2019s not just about 2026. It\u2019s the first season of us being a works team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut there are many more championships after that point, and we want to be strong across all of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where Lawrence is exceptionally good at having that vision and investing further for the medium to long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don’t invest in a wind tunnel if it’s short-term. You don’t invest in the campus that we’ve experienced if you\u2019re there for the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLawrence gives a very clear vision. We’re all impatient, but the investment supports a medium to long-term approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
