Helmut Marko confirmed speculation that Adrian Newey has signed a contract extension to remain with Red Bull despite interest from elsewhere.
Newey has been with the team since 2006 and currently serves as technical chief. While he no longer has as much influence on the design of the Red Bull cars as once was the case, Newey remains an integral part of the team's hierarchy and one of Christian Horner's most trusted allies.
Earlier this week, Motorsport.com reported that Newey had been tied down to a new deal with his old contract due to expire at the end of this year. Red Bull would not confirm the news when contacted by Mirror Sport, though a spokesperson declared that the 64-year-old "will be with us for a long time".
