About this listen

 In this special edition of the James Allen on F1 podcast we hear from Aston Martin Chief Technical officer Adrian Newey, who shares some insights into his process and defines what has made him so successful. He reveals fascinating detail on what he learned from failure.
He also names out the greatest driver he has ever worked with.
We also hear about a unique new initiative from Sir Jackie Stewart to raise funds for his charity Race Against Dementia.
Jackie and his son Mark have managed to collect the signatures of all 20 living F1 World Champions – including Michael Schumacher - on one of Jackie’s race helmets. This unique piece of F1 memorabilia will tour the world next year in the F1 Exhibition, but not before a one-off replica has been created which fans can win in a prize draw.
The competition is live now and closes on 23 November 2025. The winner will get an all expenses paid VIP trip to the season finale Abu Dhabi GP in December to collect it and witness the final signatures of Sir Jackie and the 2025 F1 World Champion – likely to be either Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris… or could it be Number 5 for Max Vertstappen?
