Yep he's fine just a little bruised. Impact was passenger side and not that hard given the speed of the Snetterton circuit.

Thank god he is OK. He doesn't have much luck when he is doing the racing himself and it was only a few years ago he nearly lost his life at Le Mans when he crashed his Ford GT40. I hope he doesn't have any ideas about taking his new RB5 for a spin anytime soon. Stick with the technical drawing Adrian.

Other than Webber and Vettel he is the most vital ingredient in the RBR racing brew - Dietrich Mateschitz should kick his arse.

I have no sympathy for Newey - he knows that he is an accident prone driver - but I am really pleased he is fine.

For crying out loud Newey Baby - STOP!!!

If he MUST then why doesnt he rather race Karts! They are far better than most racing cars anyway - definitely Ginettas - up to FF!

I was there that weekend. He'd already bunged it in the wall coming out of the Porsche Curves in the first race, done a complete 360 exiting Tertre Rouge in the second race (right in front of me) and then had brake failure IIRC on the Mulsanne to total the car in the final race.

@ StD - shurrup, you poison this forum with the amount of rubbish that you spout. If the bloke wants to race then he should race, this accident wasn't his fault and neither was the one at Le Mans.

Glad he's OK and am sure his passion for racing on the track is as intact as ever although I'm sure he seriously considers STD's concerns

Clearly St. D didn't see the incident or he'd know Newey was the innocent bystander in this crash with a guy locking up and hitting the rear of his car, spinning him and then being collected by another car.

I did not, and do not distinguish between who caused it - the issue is that he is a vital part of RBR and participation in a motor race - especially a Club Event which are far more dangerous than professional races - is irresponsible.

He has no business risking the effort of RBR. Dietrich Mateschitz should kick his backside.

Perhaps you should actually have a look at the G50 series, it's not just some half arse club event. Current championship leader is Carl Breeze who has a fair history of tintop racing.

You're possibly the worst 'motorsport fan' that I've ever encountered, anyone who thinks that people shouldn't race, (especially when they aren't physically needed for a team), really needs to rethink their choice of hobby. I am fully behind anyone who wishes to go racing at any level, I suspect that many other forum members feel the same way. It really is about time you accepted that people really don't like you and went off to troll somewhere else.

I agree with you Jan but we are not allowed to say anything demeaning against Trolls. I think it's because they are an endangered species.

Give me a Sinclair C5 and I'll try and race it as would most of us here. It's all about the sport which is why people like Adrian cant resist getting in a Ginetta. He may have designed the best F1 car this year and be a fundamental part of Red Bulls success (or failure) but you can't stop a man wanting to be the Nut behind the Wheel.

Poor old STD will never understand that the camaraderie, adrenaline, excitement, sound, smell and competition (in fact, all the things you cannot convey on a stupid computer) is what Motor sport is all about but he has his views and is more than welcome to them.

For me, and I warrant a few others, that feeling as you walk down the paddock on a clean, crisp morning; the dew on your feet and the slightly sweet, acrid waft of oil, petrol and rubber tickling your nose and finally the stillness and solitude destroyed like a atom bomb but the explosion of a tuned internal combustion engine raping the stillness is what it's all about; whether it's a pristine F1 car or some dodgy old club racer.

Yes! and the cars will be called "Rolls Hardly". Rolls down the hill fast but can Hardly get up the other side.

He should stick to Sky Diving. Time to offer your time honored Knuckle sandwich.

Are you calling a British Touring Car Championship meeting a 'club event'?

If Newey had a "no doing any racing, or anything at all dangerous, especially no gardening clause" is his contract, which he won't have cos Newey would never sign such a thing, then he should kick his arse.

If Newey, the massive racing fan and all round design genius decides to take his millions and spend it going racing then he should do it as much as he can. I would, and i think 99% of this forum probably would given half the chance.

He has every right to do whatever he bloody likes. And no, the Ginetta series is not "club event" its a well supported professionally run national series with some highly rated professional drivers involved.

I don't now how, or why, but you seem to seek to offend someone with every one of your innane posts, and attempt to back it all up with some justification about "man's games" or some pointless historical facts gazing back at the good 'ole days.

And for God's sake, do not take the British tabloids media view as representative of the nation, like you seem insistent on doing on several thread, just to suit your seemingly increasingly far fetched and controversial views.

Thanks

I merely state what I think Mateschitz ought to do.

If Newey had been seriously injured or killed that would have been really stupid and RBR would be sunk.

Club racing events or amateur racing is far more dangerous than professional racing because the level of ability is so varied and generally low.

If RBR continue to allow it then they, as does Newey, deserve what they get.
