Adrian Newey the Red BUll’s renowned engineer and Formula 1 designer has indeed won many constructor championship titles during his remarkable career. However, there was a time when Adrian felt huge emotional damage over the tragic death of Ayrton Senna.
Initially, it was said that Senna’s death was due to steering column failure, but Newey doesn’t believe that steering column failure caused the accident, he feels immense guilt about the aerodynamics of the car. The ’94 cars were aerodynamically unstable, and Newey blames himself for not getting it right.
“The ‘94 cars, one of my huge regrets, regardless of what was the cause of the accident at Imola, the one thing you could definitely say about the car is it was aerodynamically unstable,” Newey admitted.
