Adrian Newey, the Chief Technical Officer of Red Bull Racing, has been confirmed as a featured speaker at Race Industry Week. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful designers in Formula 1 history, having won 11 constructors’ titles and helped numerous drivers win championships. Before his success in Formula 1, Newey had already achieved victories in sports car racing and IndyCar. He joined Red Bull Racing in 2006 with the goal of making the team championship contenders. In 2009, he capitalized on aerodynamic rule changes to create a dominant car that delivered six victories. Under Newey’s leadership, Red Bull Racing won multiple constructors’ and drivers’ titles. Despite a downturn in performance in the hybrid era, Newey’s influence was still felt in the design phase of each Red Bull car. He returned to full-time racing activity in 2019 and designed the car that helped Max Verstappen win his first championship title.
