Affleck and Damon Back 'Turbulence,' an Adrian Newey F1 Documentary With Aston Martin Access

The authorized feature pairs Hollywood producers with F1 partners to chronicle Newey’s Aston Martin rebuild through inside access.

Overview

  • Artists Equity is producing with The Whisper Group and Mark Stewart Productions in collaboration with Formula One and the Aston Martin Aramco team.
  • The film carries the working title “Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in Formula One,” with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Kyle Wheeler as executive producers.
  • Patrick Mark and Michael Tolajian are attached as executive producers and directors, signaling a feature treatment with significant behind‑the‑scenes access.
  • Cameras will follow Newey at Aston Martin’s Silverstone campus as he targets a championship‑capable car during a major regulation change cycle.
