(Infiniti Red Bull Racing)
Infiniti Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner
believes that Adrian Newey’s reduced role within the organisation will help the
team’s junior engineers to move up the ranks at the team. Newey was involved in
the design process of the new RB11 but will now take a step back from the day
to operational role of chief technical officer.
When Newey announced last year that he would take a back
seat within the F1 team Christian Horner revealed that no replacement would be
announced in that role however Chief Engineering Officer Rob Marshall has now
taken up a more hands on role within the technical team.
Infiniti Red Bull Racing have created a new team to replace
Adrian Newey which will be led by Rob Marshall, Paul Monaghan is (Chief car
Engineer), Dan Fallows (who looks after the aerodynamic development of the car)
and Pierre Wache (Chief Performance Engineer). Red Bull have been more
encouraged with the performance in testing this year compared to the same
period last year.
Newey will still provide advice and assistance to team while
dividing his time between the Formula One programme and Red Bull Technologies.
Newey was at the opening winter test in Jerez last week to
oversee the RB11’s first on track outing.
