It was to here an interesting journey, “Newey looks back on his time in Formula 1 Team. “When I came to the team because they had virtually just painted a jaguar only in blue. My first task was to build the necessary infrastructure. The idea was that all work together perfectly, so as to have a solid foundation. That’s all 2006, 2007 and happened in the first part of 2008. “

” The rule changes for the 2009 season came to us just right. Since mid-2008, we had together the team that stood infrastructure and all tools were available.’ve Thereof we can benefit the subsequent rule break. In 2009, we were able to get our first win, “the engineer, the Red Bull with his sometimes radical technological approaches says should lead to four driver and four manufacturer titles.

“From 2009 to 2013, the rules were reasonably stable. It went almost exclusively to fine-tuning. The collaboration was getting better. The result was winning four world titles. 2014 we had the disadvantage of the drive. It was still a good season, after all, we have three races won, “says Newey.

“We make all other projects. At present, especially the construction of a yacht for the America’s Cup, “he says.” It’s exciting. The America’s Cup is probably off the motor sport the only sport that works with high budget and high technology. Since there are many parallels. The Basics for example in the simulation are the same. The technologies are quite similar, only be applied differently. That to me is a fascinating area “
