The Silverstone-based squad has undergone a huge transformation since Stroll took over the assets of the former Force India team, rebranding it as Racing Point before it became Aston Martin in 2021.
With huge investment, which has included a new factory, the team has become podium contenders – but still wants more as it sets sights on fighting for championship glory.
And, as Autosport revealed recently, Stroll is personally trying to convince Newey to jump ship from Red Bull and help further bolster Aston Martin’s technical capabilities going forward.
Alonso recently committed to a new multi-year deal with Aston Martin that will run through to its Honda era from 2026.
While Alonso, who joined the team last year, was not referencing the Newey rumours specifically, he has made it clear that Aston Martin is a team that is going places – with a desire that no rivals can match.
“There is no other team in the paddock with the ambition and the plans for the future that Aston has,” he said.
“But at the same time, you need to achieve those goals and you need to deliver those results.
“This team was very new two years ago. It doubled more or less the amount of people that worked in the factory. They were in an old Jordan building, now they are in a super modern factory.
