Red Bull's chief technical officer Adrian Newey is looking forward to the introduction of major aerodynamic rule changes next season.
The renowned designer stepped back from Formula One in recent seasons to focus on other projects within Red Bull, including the Americas Cup and a collaboration with Aston Martin, but he believes the challenges posed by the 2017 rules gives him an opportunity to get more involved again.
"It’s a very different set of aerodynamic regulations and it poses a lot of challenges," he said. "When you first look at them, the changes appear relatively small. Although the tyres are wider, the inside shoulder is in roughly the same place, some of the box regulations are swept to give the illusion of speed - but once you get into the details then it’s actually hugely different and throwing up a lot of challenges and with challenges comes opportunities."
"The regulations we have been working to up until the end of this year obviously came in for the 2009 season, " he continued, "and while there have been some relatively small changes over the years, they have been exactly that.
"The cars have all evolved quite heavily over several seasons to one set of regulations, to the point of course that now when you look at the cars they all look pretty similar to each other," he concluded.
