Eleven constructors championships, with three different teams and seven drivers championships. There is no one on the grid that can boast these numbers. These numbers make him one of the most decorated individuals in the sport’s history. We are not talking about a driver or a team principal. We are talking about one of the most influential men behind the scenes guiding the teams to success, Adrian Newey. Often considered a genius, the British engineer is an integral part of the Red Bull team. However, according to reports, his term with the team might end, and the fans beg their respective teams to pounce on this opportunity.

The British engineer has given multiple teams throughout his career championship-winning pedigree. His work at Red Bull has already seen the team win five constructors and six drivers championships. The RB18 was a revelation, and even Lewis Hamilton attested to that fact. The genius of Newey is unparalleled and his contribution is unquestionable.
