Adrian Newey has been the not so secret talisman of success for F1 teams for the last 20 years and his departure from full time duties at the Red Bull F1 team was always going to be a downer for them, regardless of what team management say. The idea for Adrian to step back from day-to-day duties at the team was to allow him time to work on other projects with racing sail yachts most often mentioned. Thankfully for the world he did this as he has produced what can only be described as a mind-blowingly beautiful and complex new shape of a hypercar in the form of the Aston Martin AM RB 001.
Just when you think that no one can surely produce a more beautiful car than such creations as the McLaren P1, La Ferrari or the Pagani Zonda F, along comes Adrian Newey to make all these so called hyper cars look like 2 tonne gorillas. The level of detail in the various shapes that comprise this car is just mind boggling. It is no surprise to hear that Adrian would analyise parts of the car, section-by-section describing in detail how the airflow would behaves and react to the contours of the car.
