Aston Martin upgrades draw focus after de la Rosa

Formula1.com reported Pedro de la Rosa discussed Aston Martin’s major upgrades and work with Adrian Newey on the latest Beyond The Grid episode.

Formula1.com reported that Pedro de la Rosa reflected on Aston Martin’s major upgrade package in the latest episode of Beyond The Grid, and also discussed working with Adrian Newey. With no official technical document attached, the comments stand as a reported assessment rather than a confirmed verdict on the team’s long-term direction.

The context matters for a constructor still chasing its first Formula 1 race win and first constructors’ title. Aston Martin has competed across eight active seasons from 1959 to 2026, which gives added weight to any signs of progress around its current car development.

De la Rosa’s background also adds context to the discussion. The Spaniard raced in Formula 1 from 1999 to 2012, entered 101 races, scored one podium and recorded a best finish of second.
