Newey not planning on walking away from Red Bull F1
Adrian Newey, who turns 65 on Boxing Day, has been essential in transforming Red Bull into a championship-winning team since he joined in 2006. He made a name for himself at Leyton House, Williams, and McLaren, designing cars that won a total of six constructors’ and six drivers’ titles. Red Bull’s car designs under Newey’s leadership dominated the blown diffuser era and have continued to be successful with the introduction of the 2022 ground-effect cars. Although he is less involved in daily design work now, Newey remains a crucial asset and has recently signed a new deal. He still enjoys being part of Red Bull and values the opportunity to be involved in the team’s development. The only time he considered leaving was in 2014 when Red Bull faced uncompetitive power units from Renault, but ultimately, he decided to stay because of his involvement in the team’s growth.
