As reported by Dave Phillips at Long Beach, Adrian has said his contract was expiring this year and he was looking forward to a new adventure back in North America in '13 and beyond. Apparently this is where he wants to be and raise his family, not to mention it is probably more relevant for Lowes Mexico.
I think Adrian wants to get back into prototypes - going to GT was strike one against Aston, Adrian's lack of pace (probably driven by a lack of desire to really work on the craft) in a GT was strike two and then they pulled him from the car at Silverstone; in baseball three strikes and you are out.
Aston Martin's big plans for Grand-Am and ALMS(?) are not centered around young Adrian.
