A closer look at the 12 constructors’ title-winning cars Adrian Newey has designed
Adrian Newey’s design genius has defined modern Formula 1. And it continues to do so as, 31 years after his first success, Red Bull have secured the 12th constructors’ championship for one of his cars.
In modern F1, a car has many designers but there’s no question that Newey’s guiding hand as Chief Technical Officer at Red Bull is a key contributor to their success. The Red Bull RB19 has won 15 out of 16 Grands Prix so far, making it one of the most dominant F1 cars in history.
The dozen Newey cars that have won the constructors’ title with Williams, McLaren and Red Bull represent a technical history of modern F1 and reveal glimpses of the genius of a mind that has shaped 21st century Grand Prix cars more than any other.
1992 Williams-Renault FW14B
Newey’s first title-winning car was crushingly dominant, setting the fastest individual lap on every Grand Prix weekend in 1992 and winning 10 out of 16 races.
As Chief Designer, working with legendary Williams Technical Director Patrick Head, Newey was responsible for the aerodynamics, and the Williams FW14 of 1991 was the natural evolution of the direction Newey pioneered with the March 881 of 1988.
