About this episode

Why did Adrian Newey choose Aston Martin over Ferrari? How long will it take Aston Martin to go from pretenders to contenders? What parallels can be drawn between Aston Martin now and Red Bull when Newey joined them in 2006?

 

EJ shares exclusive insights into Adrian Newey's major move to Aston Martin in 2025.


Plus, Mark Webber returns to join DC and EJ for a trip down memory lane as he looks back on his incredible motor racing career. The 48-year-old reflects on how EJ played a pivotal role in his ascent through the ranks and shares insights into the challenges of racing in an underwhelming Minardi car at the 2002 Australian Grand Prix.
