Description
Adrian Newey is the undisputed greatest F1 designer of all time. He has designed championship-winning F1 cars for three different teams: Williams, McLaren and Red Bull, and his era-defining Red Bull RB19 won 21 of the 22 races in the 2023 season. His position as the GOAT is secure.
Former McLaren boss Ron Dennis called Newey the most competitive man he'd ever met. With contributions from friends, rivals, and admirers from across the world of motorsport, this fully illustrated biography charts his career, from his early days at the Fittipaldi F1 team, right up to when he left Red Bull in a blaze of publicity after his falling out with Christian Horner to join Aston Martinβwith a rumoured Β£30m salary, plus bonuses. F1 is waiting to see if he can win a championship with a fourth team.
Adrian Newey: An Illustrated Biography of F1's Design Genius is the most comprehensive and up-to-date biography of one of Formula 1's most successful men. It contains over 200 high-quality photographs and 12 infographics that illustrate Newey's life and career in stunning detail, offering new perspective and insight on the designer who was once described as 'the man who can see air'.
