Ben Affleck and Matt Damon will make a film about Newey.

      Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have been named executive producers of the new documentary Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in F1, which is dedicated to Adrian Newey. The Whisper Group and Mark Stewart Productions will directly produce the film.

      Turbulence will tell the story of the career of an outstanding engineer whose cars have won fourteen Constructors' Championships and delivered twelve drivers' titles. The filmmakers will be given exclusive access to Aston Martin's facility and will show in detail his work on the design of a Formula 1 car.

      The account of contemporary realities will be interwoven with stories revealing moments of triumph and tragedy across Adrian Newey's remarkable career. The filmmakers promise that Turbulence will go beyond motorsport and explore themes such as ambition, self-sacrifice, tragedy, and redemption.

      Adrian Newey: "When Mark Stewart suggested making a documentary, although I was flattered, at first I hesitated about whether to agree. However, one of the most touching things after the release of my autobiography in 2017 was the number of letters I received. They said how the book had awakened interest in the design and engineering solutions of racing cars, how closely car design is linked to the drivers, and how much success depends on mindset.

      I hope this film can convey the passion, the working process and the strength of spirit required to get a Formula 1 car onto the starting grid. The film discusses the difficulties I faced when joining a new team in early March this year to prepare for, perhaps, the most extensive regulation change in the history of Formula 1. The film will also tell the story of my career up to that point and will show what helped me prepare for this grand challenge.

      Formula 1 never stands still. I hope the film conveys some of that relentless energy and our constant drive to improve results."

      Ben Affleck: "This film is much more than just a movie about racing. It's about a living legend whose unparalleled career is full of ambition and a drive for change. These human qualities resonate with us, and we want to share them in our stories. It is a great honor for us to help bring Adrian's story to life together with all our wonderful partners."
