formula 1

Adrian Newey is still in the spotlight of F1 teams. They want the services of the 65-year-old Briton at Ferrari, and the latest offer came from Lawrence Stroll, the owner of the Aston Martin team, who wants to compete with the biggest teams such as Red Bull Racing, Mercedes and Ferrari in the future.

€ 240.000 for every pound of Red Bull weight

formula 1

This year's Red Bull RB18 race car is probably one of the best on the track, but it is also one of the heaviest race cars, weighing around 808 kg, or 10 kilograms more than the minimum weight of 798 kg. Designers want to keep the weight as low as possible, as they can achieve the lowest weight allowed with additional weights, while better balancing the race cars. Every extra kilogram of weight the race car slows down, so Red Bull strives to lighten the components. According to experts, Adrian Newey's latest product creates the most vacuum of all, as it can be driven low, close to the ground without any major problems. Many teams, especially Mercedes, can't afford it, as their W13 race car, despite being the toughest next to the RB18, starts to bounce as hard as it can.

Red Bull RB18 race car fails on crash test

formula 1

The Red Bull race car of the 2022 season, the RB18, failed in the mandatory crash test, according to Italian media reports. The safety test is mandatory for approval by the FIA, and the protective cell that protects the racer in frontal collisions has not performed satisfactorily. It will now be necessary to strengthen the said part, which will cause the team to lose some time, but the failure of the test should not worry the designer of the race car Adrian Newey. At Red Bull, they say that the car in the simulator was at least as good as last year, although the cars are generally slower, which leads to speculation that Newey may have taken an extreme approach again. Competitors are therefore even more eagerly awaiting the presentation of RB18, for which it is not yet known when

Harrison Newey, the son of legendary Formula One technical genius Adrian Newey, recorded his first win in Formula 4. The 17-year-old Newey started the British Formula 4 race in Donington from the best starting position, but did not let go of the lead until the finish. Newey had already won in the previous two races, but somehow escaped him, and this time he finished the race completely from the start to the finish.

Red Bull with Ferrari engines?

formula 1

Rumors of Renault's withdrawal from Formula One are getting louder, although it is not yet clear whether they will withdraw completely or continue the 2016 season with their own team. So from one extreme to another. Due to this uncertainty, they want a more stable partner, especially at Red Bull. They have already talked to Mercedes, but it does not want to supply engines to a team that has the resources and capabilities to beat them. Talks with Ferrari were also denied by Horner, who said: "We didn't talk to Maurizio, at least not about that. We have an agreement with Renault, but I can't tell you anything more, at least not yet." Unofficially, Red Bull is supposed to address a Letter of Termination to Renault, which is what Renault is supposed to want anyway. However, Ferrari is already supplying their V6 units to Sauber and Manor

Newey has extended his contract with Red Bull

formula 1

There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about the future of one of Formula One’s best designers, Adrian Newey. Ferrari was very interested in Adrian, but Newey only extended his contract with Red Bull. For once, it's not clear where Newey will work, but he certainly doesn't want to be so closely involved in Formula One. Team boss Christian Horner has already said after the Chinese Grand Prix that he wants to keep Newey on the team, even though he will only advise the team and no longer work daily in F1: “He is no longer so involved in F1, but his advice is golden valuable. We will announce in which field he will work in the future soon. But we all know that he has reached the limit when he needs a new challenge after so many titles. We are happy to have signed a new contract and we believe we will be together again
