“It just highlights how appealing our project was, how exciting it was for Adrian to join and what an exciting future we have. I can’t wait for him to get started and to work again with him.
“I think it just gives so much credit to our team because, at the end of the day, every team on the grid wanted Adrian to join, but he decided for Aston Martin.
“I think it’s a gamechanger and it’s a very important point in our history at Aston Martin. He’s a winner and he really wants to win badly in everything he does. He has a racing driver mentality.
“I think he’s decided for our team because he saw that the ingredients to win were there – the resources, the people, the team. They were all in place, otherwise he wouldn’t have joined.
“I’m so happy that he has picked Aston Martin. Having him is a guarantee that we have the best [people in F1] with us.”
