Aston Martin Says Adrian Newey Is Working After Hospital Treatment

Overview

• Newey missed the Miami Grand Prix last weekend after what the Daily Mail reported was a hospital stay for illness.
• Aston Martin said it will not discuss personal matters but confirmed he is working and was at the factory last week.
• He has not attended a race since the Melbourne opener and is now working from his Berkshire home, with reports suggesting he may not return trackside until after the Canadian Grand Prix on May 22-24.
• Andy Cowell assumed day-to-day team principal duties in March as Newey focuses on design, and he has been working with Honda to fix engine vibrations that shake parts loose and numb drivers’ fingers.
• Both cars reached the finish in Miami after a steering redesign cut the worst vibration, though pace stayed poor as Honda eyes a bigger engine step later this season.
