Aston Martin stopped putting Adrian Newey ‘in front of a microphone’ after PR nightmare

Aston Martin has shifted its communication strategy following a problematic press conference featuring Adrian Newey, where he made critical comments about the team's situation and Honda's engineers. This led to a decision to limit Newey's media appearances, with other team members taking on spokesperson roles instead.

The team is reportedly facing internal frustration regarding Honda's engine progress, especially after disappointing results at the Dutch Grand Prix. Changes in Honda's management are anticipated, and there are discussions about potential rule changes to assist Honda's performance in the future.
