Adrian Newey Leaves Red Bull Racing

[diffuser]

What I’m reluctant about is: AM is so far back so any improvement in the short term is credit that will only be given to AN as “it must be his work”. In reality that wont be the case. IMHO you can only ascribe anything to Newey from ‘26 on. And I’m sure that’s where the focus will be.

Of course. It's baffling why Fallows has struggled so much to bring effective updates to Aston Martin Racing!

There seems to be a pattern. It really took Peter Prodromou quite some time at McLaren, another example is Pete Machin, who failed as Head of Aero at Renault, Dan Fallows is a further example where the work in the Red Bull environment was very successful but failed at another team.

I don't remember Peter Prodromou being anything but the head of aero at McLaren until recently. Even now, he's a lower case td(Shares the job with others).

He has been all sorts of Aero director since 2014.

Yeah, I don't agree with that. He worked with him all those years and now he can't work with him at AMR?

It was said they had a poor relationship. Of course, this may not be true.
