Formula 1 News: Adrian Newey talks about his RB17 Hypercar

Adrian Newey is back on Talking Bull, the official Oracle Red Bull Racing podcast, brought to you by HP @PolyCompany to talk about his RB17.

In this episode, Red Bull’s Global Chief Technical Officer reveals the RB17, Red Bulls first-ever hypercar, and the work he and Red Bull Advanced Technologies have put into it.

The Red Bull RB17 is a hypercar project that is being overseen by Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey, and now his departure from the team has been confirmed, the car will have his full focus until he departs.

Max Verstappen has made no secret about his aims to enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the future, potentially even in an RB17 once it gets unveiled to the world – as it is set to feature a host of Newey’s ‘greatest hits’ from his esteemed Formula 1 career in one single design.

“I definitely want to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but everything has to fall into place,” Verstappen said after wrapping up his third World title in Qatar in 2023.

“I don’t feel like just arriving and filling the field. I want good preparation and can compete for victory. Of course there is a BoP [Balance of Performance] which makes it a bit difficult, but I only want to participate if we are competitive.

“It would be fantastic to participate with the RB17, if possible. Who knows!”
