What next for Adrian Newey?

However, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, believes Newey will take time out from the sport first before he makes his next move.

The engineer had a disappointing qualifying and started eighth on the grid behind the Ferrari of Meiners.

Newey’s Lotus was designed by one of the other great designers in the sport, Colin Chapman, who founded Lotus in 1952.
