Adrian Newey is surely Red Bull’s beacon of success – Formula 1
Red Bull Racing Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey is surely Red Bull Racing’s beacon of success as he efficiently designed the fastest cars for them during the last three seasons and they won both the drivers’ and constructors’ championship titles.
Newey has been known as the finest engineer in Formula 1 as he has successfully developed some incredible cars in his career so far with which many drivers have claimed their championship titles.
There are many who believe that Sebastian Vettel has claimed his third successive world championship title only because of the master design of RB8 by the British engineer.
It will interesting to mention that the Milton Keynes based team entirely dominated during the last season as they had the most competitive and the most dependable car in the field with which Vettel scored 11 grands prix victories. However, FIA banned the
use of double diffuser in this season which was their main strength during the last year.
Resultantly, Red Bull struggled a lot during the start of this season as they failed to come up with a competent design because of the changes in the rules and regulations by FIA.
Nevertheless, the Briton didn’t feel disappointed and kept on making the essential advancement in the car. Eventually, he came out successful in the end and provided the veteran German driver the most competent car with which he performed incredibly well
during the last few races and became the youngest three-time world champion in the history of the sport.
The Briton has expressed that this season has been the most difficult one in his career until now as they suffered a lot during the opening few races because of the amendments in rules by FIA. Nevertheless, he managed to make the necessary step-ups in the
car towards the end and concluded their season on a happy note.
“2012 was the hardest season I’ve ever been involved in,” Newey is quoted as saying.
Besides, he said that they entirely dominated during the last season because they had the fastest as well as the most reliable car. However, he said that they faced immense difficulties during this season in their development process due to which they couldn’t
find time to design the next year’s car.
Nevertheless, he said that they are looking forward to begin the development of their next year’s machine and are aiming to come up even stronger.
It will be important to mention that Mark Webber has praised the performance of the 53-year-old and has called him their main success factor. In addition, he said that although they faced issues during the start of this year but their chief technical officer
never lost his sight and played a vital role in their success.
“You have Adrian on the drum kit who's a big beacon for the team here in terms of design and philosophy of where the car needs to be,” Webber said. “Because when you strip it all down that's what it's about; for all the smoke and mirrors and that stuff it's
a racing car, let's make it as quick as possible to go to every different track around the world and do the business in qualifying and the race. Adrian never loses sight of that.”
With all his accomplishments until now, Newey definitely deserves to be called as the living legend in the world of autosport.
