Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell has highlighted his effort
to rally together his team in a bid to launch itself into a
championship-competing position. The Silvestone-based squad has
endured a difficult 2025 season to date and sit eighth in the
constructors' standings. Aston Martin has employed the services of
renowned car designer Adrian Newey, who is overseeing the squad's
technical department. However, Newey is placing his entire focus on
the 2026 challenger which is being built under a completely
different set of technical regulations. Cowell, who assumed the
team boss position at Aston Martin earlier this year, stated he is
attempting to bring all team members and partners under one vision.
"It's about bringing everybody together," Cowell told Sky F1 .
"It's about understanding the systems that make up a race car, and
making sure that everybody knows what their piece of the jigsaw
puzzle is. "Everybody sets tough, demanding targets and we go
chasing after them." Cowell was previously part of the highly
successful set-up at Mercedes that held a large gap over the
competition in the early years of the turbo hybrid era. The Briton
is looking to draw on his experience from his time with the Silver
Arrows and carry the culture over to Aston Martin. "That's what we
did when Mercedes came in as a works team, working with Brackley
and Brixworth," he said. "We had good success from 2014 onwards.
Nico won a few races and a championship! "We're just trying to do
the same here. We're trying to bring together everybody at
Silverstone, everybody at Aramco, Valvoline and Honda to play a
big, big part in this."
