Overview
- The feature documentary, working titled “Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in Formula One,” is a collaboration among Artists Equity, Whisper Group and Mark Stewart Productions with participation from F1 and the Aston Martin Aramco team.
- Patrick Mark and Michael Tolajian will direct and executive produce, with executive producers including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Kyle Wheeler, Brian Venturo, Stephen O’Connor, Drew Masters, Chris Grubb, Sunil Patel, Emma Everitt and Mark Stewart.
- Cameras will follow Adrian Newey inside Aston Martin’s Silverstone campus during his first season with the team after leaving Red Bull early in 2025, documenting his effort to create a championship‑challenging car under owner Lawrence Stroll.
- The film charts Newey’s 40‑plus years in F1, noting 12 Constructors’ and 14 Drivers’ titles, and addresses low points such as the 1994 Ayrton Senna tragedy and subsequent manslaughter charges and acquittal involving the Williams team.
- Affleck calls the story one of ambition and reinvention, while Newey says the project will convey the passion, working practice and mindset behind F1 design as he prepares for what he describes as the biggest regulation change in the sport’s history.
