BAKU, Azerbaijan — Fernando Alonso believes Aston Martin is Formula 1's "team of the future" after hiring Red Bull car designer Adrian Newey with an eye on the new regulations coming in 2026.

Newey described the Spanish two-time champion as being like an "archenemy" for the way he's posed a challenge to Newey's previous teams.
