A Look Back at Aston Martin's Leadership: Jonathan Wheatley Takes Over as Adrian Newey Departs
Adrian Newey is stepping down from his position as Aston Martin's team principal, paving the way for Jonathan Wheatley to assume the role. Newey had taken on the responsibility at the beginning of the 2026 season, replacing Andy Cowell in the leadership position.

The Aston Martin F1 team is undergoing a significant leadership transition as Jonathan Wheatley prepares to step into the team principal role. The announcement comes following Adrian Newey's decision to relinquish the position.
Newey's tenure in the role proved relatively brief, having assumed the responsibilities only at the outset of the 2026 season. At that time, he succeeded Andy Cowell, who had previously held the team principal position at the British outfit.
This leadership shuffle marks another chapter in Aston Martin's organizational evolution as the team continues to shape its management structure heading into the future.
