Adrian Newey Biography

Adrian Newey is one of the most popular and richest Engineer who was born on December 26, 1958 in England, England, United Kingdom.

In 2009, he designed a British Grand Prix-winning car for Sebastian Vettel .

Through the 1980s and into the 1990s, Williams F1 was a top running team, and technical director Patrick Head wasted no time in getting a contract signed. With a vastly superior budget, drivers and resources at his disposal, Newey and Head rapidly became the dominant design partnership of the early 1990s. By mid-season 1991, Newey’s FW14 chassis was every bit a match for the previously dominant McLaren, but early season reliability issues and the efforts of Ayrton Senna prevented Williams team leader Nigel Mansell from taking the title.

Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom, he attended Repton public school alongside Jeremy Clarkson. Newey was asked to leave Repton at the age of 16 after an incident at a Greenslade concert at Repton’s 11th-century Pears School Building organised by the school’s sixth formers, where he pushed up the sound levels on the band’s mixer, cracking the building’s stained glass windows. Newey gained a first class honours degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the University of Southampton in 1980. Immediately after graduation he began working in motorsport for the Fittipaldi Formula One team under Harvey Postlethwaite. In 1981, he joined the March team. After a period as a race engineer for Johnny Cecotto in European Formula 2 Newey began designing racing cars. His first project, the March GTP sports car, was a highly successful design and won the IMSA GTP title two years running.

He fathered two children with first wife Salvica and later married second wife Marigold.
