Why is Red Bull's Adrian Newey at the World Endurance Cup event in Silverstone when there is a Formula One race going on in China?
Mark Webber is getting ready for his first
World Endurance Cup race with Porsche after retiring from Formula One,
and there's a familiar face hanging around his garage stall - Adrian
Newey
Red Bull's chief technical officer is not attending the Chinese Grand
Prix this weekend, but will instead be at Silverstone for the opening
round of the WEC season. The photo to the left was taken by Webber
himself and posted on Facebook with the caption; "And look who is in Silverstone ... Adrian Newey!"
Adrian isn't just in the area to see former driver Mark Webber though.
He does have some business to take care of. He is working on upgrades at
the Infiniti Red Bull Racing factory, which is based in Milton Keynes,
not too far from Silverstone. With the 6 Hours of Silverstone going on
this weekend, he simply decided to go enjoy the event.
Even Newey deserves to take a break and be a fan for a day again. And I'm sure the Porsche engineers would be very intrigued to hear his input too!
