“I am Dr. Helmut Marko. I work for Red Bull. You will call me.” F1
Helmut Marko admits Adrian Newey “gazed a little bit strange at me” when they first met, with the Red Bull motorsport advisor keen on bringing the prolific designer on board.
Newey, working for McLaren at that time, was being courted by Red Bull as they made their way into the sport, and he eventually answered Marko’s calls to join the team in time for 2006. “My approach was to be as competitive as possible. I am direct about what we expect, and in the end, it worked out.”
“We make championships possible,” he reasoned when asked about this style. “Of course there is a lot of pressure. But if you can’t stand pressure, racing is the wrong business for you.”
