Helmut Marko has confirmed that technical director Adrian Newey has signed a new contract with Formula 1 world champion Red Bull. “Yes,” said the Red Bull consultant in response to a question on Friday in the paddock of the Miami Grand Prix.
“He’s been with us for 17 years now and has extended it for several years,” emphasized the Styrian, who has been with us for a year since Red Bull entered Formula 1.
Newey, now 64 years old, joined in 2006. For how many years the new contract for the “design guru” is valid, Marko could not be elicited. “Several,” he said simply.
