Newey: Never experienced same level of F1 consistency as Red Bull in 2023
Adrian Newey, a highly successful Formula One car designer, has achieved remarkable success throughout his career, winning 14 constructors’ titles and 12 drivers’ championships for three different teams. Some of his notable achievements include Williams’ dominance in 1992 and 1996, where they won multiple races and secured several one-two finishes. Since joining Red Bull in 2006, Newey has overseen cars that have won numerous races, including 12 victories in 2011 and 13 triumphs in 2013. Despite this, he believes that the consistency exhibited by Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the RB19 this season is particularly impressive. Newey attributes their success to the wide operating window of the RB19, which allows the car to perform well on various types of circuits. In contrast, the Mercedes team debuted a different design philosophy for their W13 car in 2022, which has proven to be more sensitive and limited in its adaptability. Despite possible concerns about studying and replicating Mercedes’ approach, Newey trusted his gut instinct and decided to stick with Red Bull’s own concept. He acknowledges that even with advanced tools and resources, the team has limitations and must make strategic choices regarding their development path.
