Adrian Newey says Christian Horner did not fully understand the pain and frustration he experienced during Red Bull's troubled 2014 season with Renault engines. Horner, the team principal, wrote in his new autobiography Drive that he felt disappointed in Newey when the legendary chassis designer considered joining Ferrari mid-2014. Newey pushed back, saying that a bad power unit year is normal, but if a supplier shows no intention to fix problems, it becomes a serious issue — which is what happened with Renault. He ultimately turned down Ferrari's offer and stayed at Red Bull.
Horner and Newey had worked together for 19 years at Red Bull, achieving two title-winning periods: first with Sebastian Vettel from 2010 to 2013, then Max Verstappen from 2021 to 2024. However, after Mercedes introduced turbo-hybrid engines in 2014, Red Bull fell behind and continued relying on Renault, which struggled with the new regulations despite the team's four previous title wins under old rules.
