Adrian Newey, technical director of the 2010 championship winning team, Red Bull, has insisted that his team is no more in position of winning next year’s championship than any other of their rivals.
When asked if Newey could make the RB7 a better and improved car, he told Autosport that it was “impossible to forecast.”
"The truth is - and that is the great thing about motor racing - that things can change very quickly as we all know. If other people do a better job than we do over the winter then it will change," he said.
Red Bull has had the fastest car the last two seasons but only managed to score the titles this season with both the manufacturer and drivers championships.
The new rules are likely going to mix the cards of next year’s winning teams, like it did in 2010 with the ban on refuelling and smaller front tyres, notably.
"It was a season that was a long and hard one, I must admit," he said. "It was marked by a lot of sniping which was a bit tiring after a while more than anything - that people could not just get on,” he said about the many controversies surrounding Red Bull’s 2010 car.
"It was the usual thing to try and consider. It's flattering but when you are always being popped at, it does get annoying after a while," he concluded.
