ITV-F1.COMRed Bull Racing has signed Formula 1's leading designer Adrian Newey as its new chief technical officer. In a shock move Newey, who is currently McLaren's technical director, will take up his new role in February 2006. The announcement will be seen as something of a coup for Red Bull which will also use Ferrari V8 engines next year. Speculation over Newey's McLaren future has been growing through the summer, but even so RBR team principal Christian Horner has pulled off a master stroke by gaining his signature. Newey nearly joined the team once before, when it was still Jaguar Racing but McLaren's team boss Ron Dennis talked him out of it.
