Red Bull technical chief Adrian Newey had the honor of driving the iconic Ferrari 312T, once piloted by Formula 1 legend Niki Lauda, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Reflecting on the experience, Newey described the run as "really special" and a "fitting tribute" to the F1 icon.
Newey has been a central figure at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, primarily due to Red Bull's exhibition of the 1200+ HP RB17 hypercar which he designed. Despite the hypercar garnering much attention, Saturday morning provided a unique opportunity for him to shift his focus to a special vehicle, one that he did not have a hand in designing- Lauda's Ferrari 312T.
“Looking at the engineering back then, it must have been a fascinating area to work in because on the plus side you had a rule book which is about two pages but the budgets are relatively small, and I think much more importantly, you didn’t have the research tools.
