## Resource

In the latest episode of The Undercut, Damon Hill and Mark Hughes discuss legendary designer Adrian Newey, whose Aston Martin adventure has got off to a very shaky start. Newey is rightly regarded as one of the finest (if not the finest) technical minds to have ever graced Formula 1, but as Damon and Mark discuss, his boundary pushing designs and insistence on doing things his way mean he sometimes walks a tightrope between triumph and disaster. The question is, with almost unlimited control at Aston Martin, can he turn the Silverstone team into winners or has he bitten off more than he can chew? Want to listen ad-free?
