Show #018 - Shorter. Faster. Better. Quicker. Second in the
new punchier, more frequent Gareth Jones On Speed
Excitement about the new cars. Ferrari F107, or Renault's R27 - who's got the
best of the new F1 cars so far? Ex McLaren F1 designer Adrian Newey sings about
his old boss Ron Dennis, his move to Red Bull Racing, and how he loves computers.
Sing along yourself....
Adrian, Design Us A "Newey"
High nose, low nose. low drag, sculpted sidepods,
F1 is no drag.
V1
Yeah. I’m Adrian Newey I’m ahead of the game I
design F1 cars
I’ve a computer for a brain
I’ve designed for McLaren and for Williams too
Every car they make without me turns out a pile of doo doo
Chorus
Adrian, design us a “Newey” x4
V2
Aerodynamic inefficiency is not the greatest menace
The biggest challenge begins with R
and ends with …on Dennis.
I got the call from Red Bull.
They said, “Newey come and get it”.
“I said, I want 500 terrabytes of memory or you can just forget it.”
Chorus
Adrian, design us a Newey x4
V3
I told Dietrich Mateschitz that he can stop his panics
Because I’m the man who understands,Computational Fluid
Dynamics.
Hey!
When designers get it wrong they always get the blame
But no not me, I’m problem free, I’m connected
to the main-frame.
Adrian design us a Newey x4
I love my computer
Adrian design us a Newey
…and my computer
Adrian design us a Newey
…loves me too.
Adrian design us a Newey
We’re in love, we love each other
It doesn’t make me a bad person.
Machines are people too
I like people, but machines are fitter, happier, kind to animals.
