Red Bull's tech chief shares what has changed, and what hasn't, after designer Newey stopped being involved in its Formula 1 car development
Red Bull technical director Pierre Wache says the team's organisation hasn't changed following Adrian Newey's withdrawal from all technical matters. Newey has still been seen on the team's pit wall as a strategist and has focused on his RB17 hypercar project in recent months, but his days of consulting the Milton Keynes team on its car designs have been over for several months now.
'But you’re a team, so you don’t count who is doing what exactly. You move as a group towards something, towards a common goal.' The Frenchman explained Red Bull had already been preparing for life without the 65-year-old, putting in place a team with strong technical leaders like head of aerodynamics Enrico Balbo and head of performance engineering Ben Waterhouse, both of whom signed new contracts earlier this year.
