OPINION: With Adrian Newey's departure from Red Bull drawing ever closer, MARK GALLAGHER wonders if the recent turmoil at the team would have happened had its founder still been around
It’s late 2004 and I’m sitting across the aisle from Dietrich Mateschitz in the cabin of his Falcon jet as we wing our way to Madrid for a meeting with Repsol. Long-time Austrian Formula 1 journalist Gerhard Kuntschik sits opposite the man who has built Red Bull into a global phenomenon.
Gerhard is interviewing Mateschitz for the Salzburger Nachrichten. Salzburg lies 25km from Red Bull’s HQ in Fuschl am See, while its airport is home to the recently opened Red Bull Hangar 7, one of Mateschitz’s extraordinary creations.
