Pierre Vache responded to Newey's sarcastic remark

      Red Bull Technical Director Pierre Vache in an interview PlanetF1.com I agreed with Adrian Newey's sarcastic comment about "lack of experience"...

      Pierre Vache: "It's true that I have much less experience than him. He's 66 years old, and I'm 50 – I'm 16 years less experienced.

      I don't take it personally, maybe it's true, but it doesn't change anything for me. Such comments don't matter to me. The important facts are that we really didn't do enough work last year and the efficiency of the car decreased. Perhaps because of a lack of experience, or because of a misunderstanding of some things, but we tried to fix it.

      It's important that we find the reason. Her search has taught us a lot. In 2023, we learned less than last year. Every problem you face allows you to figure out how to move on. It was a very useful experience for us, and I like such tasks. Troubleshooting is our job.

      It doesn't concern me personally. I believe that my work is not personal. My task is to understand what we are not good enough at and why we are losing. Personal comments about me don't matter."
