As an F1 legend whose star power rivals that of the most successful drivers, Adrian Newey will be the subject of a brand-new documentary about his life.
Aston Martin Aramco is teaming up with The Whisper Group, Mark Stewart Productions, and Artists Equity for a brand-new documentary that’s set to dive deep into one of Formula 1’s most fascinating minds.
‘Turbulence’ documentary to showcase Adrian Newey’s legend in F1
The first feature documentary concentrating on the life and career of Adrian Newey is set to become available in the near future, fresh off the back of his major career switch over the last 18 months.
The working title of the documentary is ‘Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in F1′, and it will concentrate solely on the man many fans consider the greatest race car designer the sport has ever seen; Newey has been directly responsible, or has overseen, the creation of the most dominant car in the sport’s history, the Red Bull RB19 from 2023 that won all bar one race that season.
With nearly two decades at Red Bull, contributing to all of the Milton Keynes-based squad’s titles, previous tenures at McLaren and Williams saw him deliver the likes of the MP4/13 and the FW14B, with Newey’s resume including 12 Constructors’ Championships and 14 Drivers’ Championship trophies over a near-40-year career in F1.
As the man whom former Red Bull boss Christian Horner declared could “see air”, the documentary project comes at a dramatic moment in Newey’s career, with the Englishman having shocked the paddock at the start of 2025 when he decided to leave Red Bull after an era-defining run of success and join Lawrence Stroll’s Aston Martin.
With Stroll having pumped in huge amounts of financial and infrastructure investment into the former Jordan and Force India squad, the arrival of Newey at Silverstone ahead of the revolutionary ruleset for F1 2026 means expectations on the team are enormous.
The documentary film promises behind-the-scenes access to Aston Martin’s Silverstone base, where Newey is now working to create a championship-contending car for Stroll’s ambitious outfit.
