Adrian Newey joined Red Bull Racing in 2006, and the 2008 RB4 car is the first Red Bull motor to be completely his work. At the RB4's launch, Newey spoke about how he is enjoying his new role at Red Bull and the freedom he has.

"For the 2008 car, we had more time to refine the package, as the 2007 car was designed in quite a compressed period, and we didn't know the details of the engine until very late in the programme. This time, knowing the Renault engine meant we were able to refine the installation," Newey said.

The arrival of Geoffrey Willis as Technical Director has allowed Newey to expand his own role within the company. "I am now much freer to concentrate on the performance aspects of the car, as well as getting involved with Christian and Geoff in strategic decisions about where we go in the future. Geoff's arrival has given me more time to look at the broader picture."
