'Newey signs new contract at Red Bull Racing'

Adrian Newey will remain attached to Red Bull Racing. The designer is said to have signed a new contract with the Milton Keynes-based team, reports Motorsport.com.

Adrian Newey's current contract at Red Bull was due to expire at the end of this calendar year. Recently, there were rumours of a departure, but so there is no sign of that anymore. No press release from Red Bull is to be expected, says Motorsport.com. The team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez never makes statements about how long a commitment of their staff runs.

As chief technical officer, Newey heads all technical departments of Red Bull's Formula 1 team, Red Bull Advanced Technology and also the now-started Red Bull Powertrains department. Newey is the chief designer of the current RB19, which is currently dominating the circuits. Horner works closely with Pierre Waché, who is on paper the technical director.
