Aston Martin Design Guru Adrian Newey Breaks Silence on Restrictive 2026 F1 Regulations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Formula One aero guru, Adrian Newey, who joined Aston Martin as a managing technical partner and shareholder in March, has opened up about the upcoming 2026 F1 regulations for the first time, hinting that there remains limited flexibility in design. For the first time in more than a decade, new engine and chassis regulations will be implemented next year, leading to entirely new F1 cars on the grid that will be lighter and slightly smaller than the current ground effect cars. They will also feature active aerodynamics on the front and rear wings. One major difference in the 2026 F1 car will be the way it is powered. The new car will feature an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, with the power being split equally between the two. F1 teams were allowed to begin their work on the 2026 car from this year, as they continue focusing on the 2025 season. Juggling between the two cars has been quite a task, and many teams are ending their progress of the current car after the summer break.

Adrian Newey of Aston Martin walks in the paddock during the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco at Circuit de Monaco on May 25, 2025 in Monte-Carlo, current regulations offer little design flexibility to teams to experiment with their cars' components, pushing them to find creative loopholes. The 2024 season saw McLaren introduce a rear wing that flexed under pressure at high speed, creating a semi-DRS effect. While the FIA deemed it to be legal, it reportedly asked McLaren to change the design after facing backlash from other teams on the grid. As F1 teams rely on such grey areas in the regulations to extract further performance from cars, Newey has suggested that the 2026 regulations don't offer "much room" to experiment, but admitted that a deep dive into the rules could help obtain a certain amount of flexibility. Speaking to F1-Insider, he said: "When I first saw the rules, my initial reaction was, 'Oh dear, that doesn't leave much room for maneuver! "But when you delve into the details, you do see a certain amount of flexibility. But as always in Formula 1, after three or four years, the teams will converge." Aged 66, Newey parted ways with Red Bull last year, where he designed the team's dominant cars that helped Max Verstappen secure four championships. After starting his new role at Aston Martin, the Briton admitted that he went into a "design trance," as his wife calls it, working "flat out" continuously except on one weekend, to design "a fast racing car." He added: "I had a weekend off recently, but apart from that, it's been pretty much flat-out nonstop. When I enter such a phase of intense concentration, I barely notice anything to the left or right. All my computing power is channeled toward one goal: designing a fast racing car." Newey is currently working on "the front and rear suspension, the fuel tank size, and the wheelbase" of the 2026 Aston Martin F1 car. However, he mentioned two shortcomings affecting his work, for which his team may have to rely on mid-season upgrades. He said: "On the one hand, we don't have enough time, and on the other, our simulation tools may be a bit weak. So we have to try to make the best possible assessments. If necessary, the body and wings can be adjusted during the season."

Last Honda V10 Raced by F1 Legend Ayrton Senna Is Up for Sale
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Grab your wallet, log into your 401K, take the hit on your kid's 529b, or maybe even ask your parents for a loan; something very special is coming up for sale, and you'll want to do whatever it takes to bring it home. Honda is auctioning a used V10 Formula 1 engine raced by none other than Ayrton Senna during the 1990 FIA Formula One World Championship. Once attached to the back of a McLaren Honda MP4/5B, serial number V805 was used by the three-time F1 champ during the last two race weekends of the 1990 season. Specifically, the warm-up of the Japanese GP at Suzuka Circuit in October and the race at the Australian GP in Adelaide in November. McLaren Honda MP4/5B. Pascal Rondeau Look up stats for the Japanese GP, and you'll notice that Senna placed third during the warm-up session with this very engine, and he went on to qualify first, ahead of his former teammate Alain Prost. Presumably, the engine was swapped between the warm-up and qualifying, as Honda's release specifically states it was only used in the former. Or, perhaps, the same engine was used for the rest of the weekends, but it technically did not race because Senna crashed into Prost on the first corner of the first lap, ultimately resulting in DNFs for both the McLaren and Ferrari—though it gave Senna his second drivers' title. The Australian GP didn't fare much better for Senna, as he started from pole but failed to finish the race due to a gearbox issue. Fellow Brazilian Nelson Piquet went on to win both of these GPs. The fact that this isn't a race-winning engine hardly takes away from its magic, as ultimately, it is the last V10 engine Senna ever raced. During this era, all engines were sent back to Honda in Japan for disassembly and inspection, and most of them were ultimately discarded. However, being the last V10 before the series transitioned to V12s, it was left alone and put into storage. It was never disassembled until recently, when it was meticulously taken apart to be placed in its new display case that's headed to auction. Honda HRC, Honda Racing Corporation (and HRC US in North America), has embarked on a rather aggressive mission to grow the business side of its operations over the last year, so it's no surprise to see it bringing special stuff like this to the public. It does make me curious what else Honda is hiding in its many warehouses, though. It feels like this is just the beginning. Hosted by Bonhams, the auction will take place on Aug. 15 during Monterey Car Week, so make sure to have your bidder number ready when the action kicks off. Click here for more details. Got a tip?
