Adrian Newey, the master of aerodynamics and a man equally as skilled behind the wheel of a racing car, blasted up the hill at Goodwood’s Festival of Speed on Saturday.
And he did it while thrilling the crowds onboard Niki Lauda’s beautiful race-wining 1974 Ferrari B3.
As the legendary designer sent the scarlet beast roaring up the hill, it was hard not to wonder if this was a not-so-subtle hint about his F1 future.
With Newey departing Red Bull in early 2025, speculation is still rife over a high-profile move to the House of Maranello.
Was this Goodwood run a mere display of driving prowess, or a secret reconnaissance mission? Only time will tell.
Adrian Newey might be the expert of design, but he's clearly also an expert of Niki Lauda's Ferrari 312T2. He's absolutely flying up that Hill! #FOS pic.twitter.com/6Kx8XKSz4r
