Official: Adrian Newey joins Red Bull F1
08 November 2005 |
It was rumoured earlier this morning but now also confirmed by Red Bull Racing; Adrian Newey will join Red Bull's F1 team at the end of February 2006. The news was announced this morning by Red Bull in a short press release.
The 46-year old Newey began his career in motor sport in 1980. His first role was chief aerodynamicist for the Fittipaldi team, before moving to March as a member of the drawing office a year later. Within a year he was promoted to Chief Designer of the March GTP sports car which won two championships in 1983 and 1984. In 84 Newey became Chief Designer of the March Indycar project and the team secured a hat trick of Indy 500 victories from 1985-87. When March entered F1 in 1987, Newey worked as Technical Director on the project.
His reputation grew and in 1990 Williams snapped him up where he took the team to their most successful string of seasons in their history - winning the constructors' title five times in six seasons. In 1997 - the final year of those successes, Newey was lured to McLaren where he took the team to championship glory in 1998.
