Having been released by McLaren 'early', Adrian Newey joined his new employers, Red Bull, today, and never one to let the grass grow under his feet, the Englishman is heading straight down to Jerez to oversee his new team's first test of the new year.
"I'm going down to Jerez to spend some time with the team and to see the new car," he told the Red Bull racing website. "It'll be nice to escape England in January and to be back at a race track again. I'm also looking forward to hearing the sound of these new V8 engines for the first time.
"I expect to spend my initial period with the team observing how things are done here," he continued, "getting to know people and finding my feet in this new environment.
"The technical team is very strong and has a good reputation, so my aim at the start will simply be to understand how Red Bull Racing operates."
