Adrian Newey, a renowned racecar designer with a remarkable track record, holds doubts about the upcoming RB20. Despite his successful history of designing cars that have clinched over 20 world championships, Newey is uncertain about the potential of RB19’s successor. He fears that the new car may not offer significant advancements and could reach a developmental plateau.
This skepticism from Newey raises questions about the performance of RB20 in the upcoming season. He cautions against relying on the same concept, as it could prove detrimental later on. However, it is still anticipated that the car will dominate the field, much like its predecessor. The unveiling of the RB20 is scheduled for next week.
Newey’s intricate designs and unmatched expertise have solidified his reputation as the best racecar designer in the sport. Since joining forces with Red Bull in 2006, he has played a pivotal role in their success, leading them to victory in the 2010-13 and 2021-23 seasons.
Known for his meticulous approach, Newey is often seen carrying a notebook and sketching various components of rival cars. His unique ability to comprehend the aerodynamics and airflow over a car enables him to visualize its performance effortlessly.
The RB19, widely regarded as the most dominant car in F1 history, triumphed in 21 out of 22 Grand Prix races. It is evident that Newey’s magic touch was instrumental in this design, leaving competitors wary of Red Bull’s formidable asset.
