Horner: Red Bull F1 team evolved not to rely on Newey
Christian Horner, team principal of Red Bull Racing, made a significant decision in 2005 by signing Adrian Newey, a legendary designer, away from McLaren. Despite not being involved in the day-to-day design process, Newey still has a strong impact on the team. Horner believes that under technical director Pierre Wache, the team has the depth to continue its success even if Newey steps away completely. Horner compared this situation to Manchester United’s evolution after the departure of influential player Eric Cantona. While Horner has received offers from other teams, he has always been committed to Red Bull and feels a responsibility towards the people, shareholders, and partners involved. He also stated that he has always treated the team as if it were his own and made sure to spend money wisely and responsibly.
