Formula 1’s Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey says his group was blindsided by the fact its then-incoming works power unit partner Honda had only retained about 30% of its original world championship-winning staff going into the project.
Sounds like things at Honda have been a mess for longer than anyone but the heads of Aston Martin knew of.
I’m not sure Newey had any oversight into Red Bull’s Powertrain division.
Neither had I and I still learned about the broad strokes of the personnel transfer of Honda to Red Bull PT. Pretty big thing to miss when you’re in the top 5 of that company.
