Interview: Newey’s vision on what F1 should be
Throughout his career, we have seen various concepts for Adrian Newey’s ultimate F1 machine, such as the Red Bull X2010 designed for Gran Turismo, a powerful 1400bhp fan car.

As the F1 community debates the success of current rules and anticipates changes for 2026, Newey shares insights on the future of the sport in a recent exclusive interview with Autosport. Reflecting on the balance between spectacle and responsibility, Newey contemplates crucial aspects like power source efficiency and chassis design to ensure F1 remains captivating both on and off the track.
