Red Bull Racing and Adrian Newey continue their collaboration Autosport known on Monday 1 May. The legendary F1 designer’s current contract was up for renewal at the end of this year, prompting speculation recently that he could be a target for competitors eager to have him on their team. The rumors that Newey would leave are now finally being put to rest, as the Brit remains with Red Bull.
On Monday morning, May 1, Red Bull announces that Newey has signed a new contract. In doing so, he links his F1 future to the Austrian racing team. The contract would expire at the end of 2023 and therefore he would be in the interest of several top teams. Newey will remain on as technical director, overseeing the progress of Red Bull’s F1 team, the Advanced Technologyactivities and the new powertrains. While the new contract has not been officially announced, nor details on its duration, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was pleased that Newey will remain with the team. Newey has been with Red Bull since 2006.
“Adrian has been such a fundamental part of the team and its success since the beginning,” says Horner. “He covers a lot of areas and it’s great to draw on his experience and knowledge. Just like the way he works with the younger employees. He is as motivated as ever. Obviously, he’s very interested in what’s going on with the Powertrains, and Red Bull Advanced Technology.’ Horner thinks that Red Bull’s set-up, in which Newey works with high-ranking people such as technical director Pierre Wache and chief powertrains Ben Hodgkinson, helping him to use his strengths.
Horner praises: ‘We can use the breadth of his experience in everything’
“I think Pierre (Wache, ed.) is doing a great job on the chassis side,” added Horner. “We have Ben Hodgkinson for the powertrains, who does a fantastic job, and Rob Gray for the advanced technology. It is a people company and that enables him (Newey, ed.) to apply his expertise. He does not have to be present at one particular subject every day. We can use the breadth of his experience in everything.” Horner also indicated that Newey had been excited by the prospect of Red Bull producing its own engines from 2026 – meaning the team will design its entire package for the first time. The currently invincible combination of Red Bull and Newey will therefore continue.
