Alonso says Newey neglects current Aston Martin car

Fernando Alonso humorously stated that Adrian Newey, Aston Martin's technical director, seems uninterested in the current car, focusing instead on the 2026 model. This comment followed a disappointing performance at the British Grand Prix. Alonso's remarks highlight the team's struggles with the AMR25, despite Newey's arrival and the introduction of upgrades. Newey, a highly regarded engineer, is reportedly prioritizing the 2026 car, leaving Alonso feeling somewhat unsupported in the present season. Aston Martin's CEO defended Newey's approach, emphasizing his focus on the overall project. Alonso's comments reflect a desire for more immediate improvements, as the team aims to compete in the current season.
