About Adrian Newey
Adrian Martin Newey (born 26 December 1958) is a British engineer, aerodynamicist, automotive designer, and motorsport executive. Since 2026, Newey has served as team principal, technical director, and co-owner of Aston Martin in Formula One; he previously served as technical director of Leyton House and McLaren, chief designer of March and Williams, and chief technical officer of Red Bull Racing. Widely regarded as one of the greatest engineers in Formula One history, Newey's designs have won 14 Drivers' and 12 Constructors' titles and 223 Grands Prix between 1991 and 2024. After designing championship-winning Formula One cars for Williams and McLaren, Newey moved to Red Bull in 2006, his cars winning the Formula One Drivers' and Constructors' titles consecutively from 2010 to 2013, the Drivers' Championship in 2021, and both titles in 2022 and 2023. The Newey-designed RB19 is the most successful Formula One car in history, winning 21 out of the 22 races (95.45%) in which it competed. Newey's designs also won the 1985 and 1986 CART titles. On 1 May 2024, Red Bull Racing announced that Newey would leave his day-to-day Formula One design duties immediately and shift his focus to the RB17 hypercar. Newey departed the company in the first quarter of 2025 and commenced work at Aston Martin, though he is still involved in the RB17 hypercar project, including its updated final design.
