What next for Adrian Newey?

Other teams have reportedly been interested in signing Newey including Aston Martin and his old team Williams

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

Even during his spare time, the legendary designer cannot stay away from F1 cars competing in the iconic Monaco Historique weekend.

The weekend showcases classic cars from motorsport history in a variety of races, separated by the era the cars competed in.

Newey raced in series D (1966-1972) in his Lotus 49B

He inherited the fourth position after Franco Meiners in his Ferrari 312B3, driven by F1 legend Jacky Ickx, spun at La Rascasse corner.

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.

The Lotus 49B was an innovation in itself as one of the first cars to feature the engine as a stressed member of the chassis.
