'And of course, we’ve got Adrian Newey, who probably doesn’t know where our finance department even is!' AstonMartin RedBull F1 Formula1
While Adrian Newey has come up with a “gem of a car” in the Aston Martin Valkyrie in Christian Horner’s view, he almost left Aston Martin penniless in the process, too.
Nonetheless, while Horner quipped that Newey stretched the budget to the very limit, it was a mission which Horner believes has produced a stunning car, while “many lessons” were learned by Red Bull for future projects. “And yeah, it was an interesting exercise and one that the Advanced Technology side of our business learned a huge amount from, and I think will stand us in good stead for the future.”
When the new ground-effect aerodynamics rules were introduced in 2022, Red Bull skipped ahead to RB18 for that year’s chassis. “And the plan is to produce 50 of these track-only cars, very much as a halo project, taking all of the Formula 1 DNA that Adrian has come across throughout his career and applying it to the ultimate driving experience.”Speaking of putting their Formula 1 experience to use elsewhere, Horner was then asked if there were any further looming Red Bull projects which he could spill the beans on.
