Aston Martin has revealed that a documentary is to be made telling the story of Adrian Newey, arguably the sport's greatest ever designer.

Aston Martin, The Whisper Group and Mark Stewart Productions (MSP) announced a collaboration with Artists Equity to deliver Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in F1, which will be produced in collaboration with F1.

With an extraordinary 12 Constructors' Championships and 14 Drivers' Championships to his credit, F1 fans revere Adrian as an era-defining genius. Turbulence follows him into the next chapter of his career after he surprised the motorsports world at the beginning of 2025 by leaving Red Bull to join Aston Martin.

Given his unprecedented run of success over the last three decades, the expectations and pressure as he joins Aston Martin are sky-high. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the team's Silverstone campus, the film will follow Adrian as he attempts to design a championship challenging car for the ambitious British brand, led by Lawrence Stroll. The contemporary narrative will be intercut with scenes exploring the triumphs and heartbreaking tragedies of Adrian's truly astonishing career.

"When Mark Stewart approached me about making a docu film, whilst flattered I was initially not sure whether to accept," said Newey. "However, one of the touching things about my 2017 autobiography is the number of letters I have received, relaying how much the book had sparked their interest in and appreciation of the design and engineering that goes into racing cars, how interactive the car design is with the drivers, and how much success is about mindset.

"Hopefully this film can portray the passion, the working practice, the strength of mind that is involved in bringing an F1 car to the grid. The film charts the challenges I have faced in joining a new team in early March to prepare for what is arguably the biggest regulation change in F1 history. It also delves into the story behind my career up to this point and how it has helped to prepare me for this enormous challenge.

"It's been a wild ride so far, but F1 never stands still. I hope that the film will capture some of that restless energy, and our constant drive towards improved performance."

"Adrian Newey is a legend of the sport and the greatest F1 car designer of all time," adds Lawrence Stroll, "which is why we brought him into the Aston Martin family. This documentary will provide unprecedented access to the brilliant mind of Adrian and the inside story behind one of the most exciting projects in world sport. We are proud to be working with all partners involved to make this content truly special and unique."

"This film is about so much more than just racing," insisted Ben Affleck, CEO Artists Equity, "it's about a living legend whose unrivalled career is full of ambition and reinvention. It's those deep human attributes that we at Artists Equity feel so connected to and want to share in the stories we tell. We're honoured to help bring Adrian's story to life alongside all of our incredible partners."

"Adrian Newey is the greatest engineer ever to grace F1," said Mark Stewart. "I've known him for many years, and this project comes at a very special moment in his career. It's a great privilege for MSP to be telling this remarkable story with such an amazing team of collaborators in London and LA."
