Newey boasts an illustrious career with successful stints at McLaren and Williams before joining Red Bull. Jordan believes that the Milton Keynes-based team is where the “fiery” engineer is a natural fit, citing Newey’s longevity, loyalty, and attention to detail as factors contributing to Red Bull’s success.
While the partnership between Newey and Horner has resulted in continuing domination and remarkable achievements over their 15 years together, Jordan suggests that clashes are inevitable due to their strong-willed personalities. However, he also acknowledges that sometimes a certain level of friction can be beneficial. Both Newey and Horner possess assertive characters, and despite their differences, their working relationship works.
