Newey Turns Down Ferrari Offer

It has emerged that chief designer for Red Bull Racing, Adrian Newey, declined an approach from Ferrari for his services for the 2011 season.

52-year-old Newey, regarded by many as the best in the business, is the only person to have designed World Championship winning cars for three different teams (Williams, McLaren and Red Bull).

The designer receives a reported salary of 10 million Euros for his contributions to the team, which means he is better paid than most of the drivers taking to the grid in Melbourne this weekend.
