The Works of a Genius
Adrian Newey has been arguably the most influential designer in Formula One for the past two decades. His innovative approach to car design, his concepts in aerodynamics are evident throughout the field and have netted him championship titles and a place of honour in the sport's history books. But now, days after he celebrated his 49th birthday, he is about to test his skills in a new environment, with a new Red Bull Racing car that could propel his reputation even further. Craig Scarborough pays tribute to Newey's designs across the years and hears from the Briton himself about his influences and philosophy
Days after celebrating his 49th birthday, and a matter of weeks before his fourth era of F1 car design begins in public, now is a good time to review Adrian Newey's illustrious career.
As a designer, the Briton set the standard in Formula One since 1988, when his ultra-aerodynamic Leyton House March first raced. Following a dominant period at Williams and his innovative time at McLaren, Newey is now at the technical helm of the smaller but ambitious Red Bull Racing team. Will his years of experience give us clues as to what is to come from his new car?
