Krack says Newey should answer Horner’s Aston Martin comparison

Asked whether he agreed with Christian Horner’s view that Aston Martin may not yet be ready to meet Adrian Newey’s needs, Mike Krack said Newey himself was better placed to answer.

Horner, Red Bull’s former team boss, has recently discussed Newey while promoting his new book. He said Newey had seemed to feel Red Bull was not ready for his arrival. Horner now sees a similar situation at Aston Martin, which, in his view, also appears unable to give the designer what he needs.

Krack said he understood why the question was asked and called it a good one. He added that Aston Martin was glad Newey was in Austin, but that Horner’s further thoughts on the situation did not interest him much.
