Guenther Steiner says Adrian Newey should not have taken Aston Martin role

Kiswahili

Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has criticised Adrian Newey for accepting the position of Aston Martin team principal. Steiner argued that Newey's strengths lie in car design rather than leadership duties.

Steiner made the comments during an appearance on the Drive to Wynn podcast. He said Newey should not have taken on the extra responsibilities after joining Aston Martin in 2025 as managing technical partner and shareholder. Steiner added that Newey would likely agree he does not know why he accepted the role announced in November 2025.
