Since Adrian Newey announced his departure, a range of teams have been trying to get the top designer's signature. Aston Martin is one of the teams that is emphatically in the running for a collaboration with the Briton, but Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll does not want to know anything about it for now.

Bold question

Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle bumped into the team owner ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix and jokingly asked him: "When is Adrian Newey starting with the team?" Stroll didn't kept his cool and was sharp in his response, "I did not say Adrian Newey was starting with me!"

Finally, Stroll looks ahead to the race. His drivers, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, will start from P7 and P9, respectively. "We seemed to have a good qualifying, let's hope we can do the same in the race. We are in the position we deserve to be."
