🟢 Adrian Newey on the importance of Aramco:
"Aramco are absolutely pivotal for us here because of how they develop fuel, as are Valvoline, which is developing the oil, to suit the work Honda is doing and are a big part of a very complicated, but very important, equation."

"What you want to try to avoid is a car that comes out quite optimised within its window but lacks a lot of development potential."
"We've tried to do the opposite, which is why we've really focused on the fundamentals."
"Some of the appendages – wings, bodywork, things that can be changed in season – will hopefully have development potential."
