He could still help Ferrari – but Adrian Newey (64) always wanted to stay on the island. The genius among designers rejected all offers from Italy.
And so the Reds have only won one lucky world title in the last 17 years through Kimi Raikkonen in 2007, as Alonso and Hamilton dropped out of McLaren and both had one point less than the Finn! So those two drivers who can get on the nerves as the only GP superstar Max Verstappen (25) in 2023. 16 years later!
Newey made 7 drivers world champions
But back to Newey. Married three times during the war, the son of a vet and an ambulance driver is regarded as a design guru – and has also turned down offers from Mercedes in recent years.
Because he has been building the best and most successful cars in the circus since 1992. Until 1997 he made Williams Mansell, Prost, Hill and Villeneuve world champions. He then moved to McLaren until 2005, where Mika Häkkinen took advantage of Newey twice and became champion.
From 2005 he followed the call of Red Bull, where he is also gilded annually with several million euros. Vettel (4) and Verstappen (2 so far, but soon 3) also owe their titles to the man in the background, whose only weakness is his sense of direction. So he didn’t find his way from the hotel to the circuit.
Anniversary for Newey and Red Bull in Canada
A week ago in Montreal, the Bulls’ 100th victory was already Newey’s 200th as a constructor. There are also 12 driver and 11 team titles. At the end of the season there would be 25.
The former racing driver and collector of classic cars is considered a daredevil on the track. So he built several accidents. And in 2007 he even celebrated a small success at Le Mans with a fourth place in the GT2 class. On a Ferrari F430.
Record podium in Canada
Montreal was the most successful F1 podium of all time with 383 trophies: Verstappen (83), Alonso (106) and Hamilton (194). They are also the only three drivers to have completed all laps in the previous eight races and always scored points.
Back on the site of the last Ferrari victory
Revenge is the order of the day next Sunday at the Bulls’ home race in Spielberg (18 wins from the last 19 races). Because on July 10, 2022, Ferrari celebrated its last victory in Styria.
Leclerc managed to take the lead three times at boxing festival Verstappen. The speed of the Reds at almost 700 meters was simply underestimated.
Schumacher continues the subject in Hinwil
Spielberg 2022. For Mick Schumacher (24) with a 6th place in a Haas-Ferrari the best race of his career. Will this continue in 2024?
His prominent name haunts the corridors of Hinwil again, and Williams also exchanges him for the American pilot Sergeant. Audi in particular has to work with a view to the Sauber era from 2026. Okay, with Neel Jani (39) you now have a simulator driver on board. But it’s about the real drivers.
Clean Seidl required
Bottas and Zhou are still very difficult to estimate. In the last two races everyone was top once and flopped once. This lack of consistency is dangerous. But would replacement pilot Pourchaire actually be better?
Well, Audi is already asking around the circus what they think of Schumi junior! Does Audi want to “build it up” primarily for entry advertising reasons? There are also skeptical voices. Now it’s up to Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl. The missing results and the driver question – a hot summer is just around the corner.
