Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso addressed former Red Bull engineer Adrian Newey's impeccable work ethic. Speaking about the F1 wizard, Alonso termed himself as the "best designer in history"
Newey is statistically the best F1 designer, who won titles in multiple teams, such as Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull. During his three and a half decades of experience in the most prominent form of motorsports, he helped the drivers secure 14 Drivers' titles and steered the teams to claim 12 Constructors' Championships.
Newey, who is currently working at Aston Martin, arrived at the British team this year after leaving Red Bull midway through 2024. Newey, who joined Red Bull in 2006, parted ways with the Austrian team after 20 years and is regarded as the main man behind Red Bull's recent dominance following the 2022 regulations.
