Following his move to Red Bull Racing, Adrian Newey has issued the following statement:
"My current contract with McLaren Racing expires on January 31st 2006. I have been at McLaren for 8 and a half years and feel that it is time for a change. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at McLaren and have a great relationship with Ron and the team. Ron is a good friend both professionally and personally. My immediate focus is to continue working at McLaren to finalise the new MP4-21 ready for testing in January and its championship challenge in 2006.
"Red Bull is a much younger organisation but I am excited by the opportunity to develop the car, team and facilities working closely with Christian Horner and his colleagues. I have been impressed by their plans and their commitment. I will be joining Red Bull at the end of February."
