Formula One is introducing a big regulation change in the 2022 season. The change, which is expected to bring the teams closer and make the sport less predictable, has forced the teams to focus their attention on the 2021 and 2022 seasons simultaneously. Obviously, planning for two seasons together is a big task, and one of the teams that is doing this well is Red Bull.

The Austrian team are currently involved in a title battle with Mercedes in both championships. The former is leading both championships as we approach the summer break.

And, according to team principal Christian Horner, they have started developing the 2022 car as well.

Horner revealed in his column that Adrian Newey, the Chief Technical Officer of the Milton Keynes outfit, is already working on the 2022 car. He also stated the relationship between Honda and the Austrian team has fired up Newey for the future.

Adrian and the Team are well into next year’s car. He has been sketching his designs on the drawing board, like he always has done, and is balancing the focus on 2021 and 2022,” said Horner.

Like the entire Team, Adrian has greatly enjoyed the relationship with Honda over the last few years and working with the technical team. Now we are in a situation where we have a car with a competitive power unit, I think it would be fair to say that he has a renewed motivation,” Christian concluded.
