In Sydney today, March 19th, Aston Martin has confirmed that Adrian Nui will stay on as team principal amid rumors he might step aside for Jonathan Wheatley from Audi. The legendary designer, who joined from Red Bull last year, continues in his role as both principal and managing technical partner. The speculation grew after reports suggested Nui would focus purely on technical work, with Wheatley possibly moving back to Britain from Audi's Swiss Base. Audi stayed quiet, saying they do not comment on rumors. The Silverstone team is off to a terrible start this season, with zero points from the first two Grand Prix races. Their new Honda power unit lacks speed and causes heavy vibrations, forcing two time champion Fernando Alonzo to retire from the Chinese Grand Prix, due to numbness in his hands and feet. Nui has a stellar record, with cars he's designed winning 14 drivers titles and 12 constructors championships across three teams. Owner Lawrence Stroll Squad finished seventh last year on Mercedes engines, but promoted Nui this season, while shifting former boss Andy
Cowell to. Strategy. Meanwhile, Wheatley, who worked with Nui at Red Bull, joined Audi's project last year and faces a long gardening leave if he switches. The next race at Suzuki on March 29th is Honda's home event, but relief seems unlikely anytime soon. Quick things to today's sponsor, see the description for more. Your pillow just got smarter.
