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.
