Newey: “I thought if I stayed in a red bull, I would not be true to myself”

Eston Martin’s upcoming management technical partner Adrian Ney said in the reasons that he left the Red Bull and took a new challenge in Formula 1.

After 18 years of tenure in Milton Keins, which had eight drivers title and six constructs crowns, New decided to call his successful partnership on time with the team on time, just signing a new contract One year.

Britain was considered uncomfortable with power struggle in playing in high areas of red bull outfit.

Was unhappy with the comments of Newey Christian Hornner An interview with Motorsport.com At the end of 2023, when the principal of the Red Bull’s team said: “The technical team (Navy) led by Pierre Wache, they are doing a wonderful work and so that they do not depend on Adrian.”

In an interview with Auto Motor Ant SportThe Navy revealed that he had made some soul-fashion because he had taken a decision that would inspire him to join Aston Martin a few months later.

“I think if you told me 12 months ago, will I leave the red bull and then finally start again, I must have said ‘No, you are crazy’.” “But for various reasons, I felt that if I stayed in the red bull, I would not be true to myself.

“So the first difficult decision was exactly the same: do I live in the red bull or not?

Newey admitted that he did not need to earn any other money and “simply retire and sit on the beach”. So it was one thing about what his life would provide with the most bliss.

“Finally, the reality is, I have desired to become a designer in motor racing since 10 or older, and I have been lucky enough to get it.” I enjoyed T, but big and older I have worked on my work Have enjoyed every day of life very much.

“I really came to the conclusion that I really wanted to work, that I was doing nothing.”

The departure of the Navy from Red Bull, which was made official on 1 May, matched with a sharp decline in the performance for the team. Sergio Perez ended its last top-five of the year in the following race in Miami, while Max Verustapen won only five of the next 19 Grands Prix on his way for the fourth consecutive world title.

Red Bull Technical Director Pierre Wacch revealed the Motorsport.com at the end of the season, faced by the main issue squad. CFD and simulator did not match what was happening on the data track; As a result, the car upgrades were not as effective as expected, especially To inspire some balance problems that eventually ended.

“Already ‘, through the very final stages of23, became more difficult to drive the car,” the Navy explained. “Of course, Max friendly – he could handle it, if you wanted. It did not suit him, but he could handle it. Could not checket.

“So we also started through ’23 to see a greater difference in performance between Team-Mets Max and Checko.” Was taken to the first part of 24, but the car was still in a hurry to face it with it Be capable

“This is something that I was starting to be worried, but many other people of the organization were not very worried about it.

“And I can see what I can see from outside, but I don’t know … people in the Red Bull, this is no criticism, but I think they are just through the lack of experience – the same direction. And the problem became more and more intense, at the point that Max also found it difficult to drive. “

Neey analysis that the red bull “is going in the same direction” is confirmed by our end-off-season interview with Wache, who admitted: “I think we saw it, but then the car soon after that Was and we did not want to modify it on a large scale.

“When we came back to Europe and were more challenged by McLaren, it became more clear that it was one of the biggest issues for us to go early.”

Neey will now join Aston Martin on March 1 as his long horticulture ends, and he sees some similarities between this new project and young red bull outfits involved in 2006 – with Williams and McLaren, two F1 Powerhouse Newi There was also a lot of success with the first.

The British said, “The red bull was very different, as the ashes of Jaguar, a team that had never achieved a lot.” “And so it was not just the design side, it was also developing infrastructure, communication, functioning, team spirit.

“Eston, of course, I don’t know yet, because I haven’t started, but I suspect it may be slightly higher on the red bull side of things.”
