Loss of top designer leaves team principal Christian Horner badly exposed and could shake up the sport’s status quo
“I always try to draw with passion. In other words, I have to believe what I’m drawing will be the next step forward,” Adrian Newey wrote in his 2017 book, How to Build a Car. With the announcement that he is to leave Red Bull next year it appears he is now looking for that new challenge, a development which could have potentially far-reaching consequences across Formula One.
As the most successful designer of the modern era with 12 constructors’ championship-winning cars across three different teams, Newey is possibly the single most sought-after asset in the F1 paddock outside the very top drivers. Many consider him to be a far more crucial component to success than the man behind the wheel.
