EVER since he announced he would be leaving his job as chief engineer at Red Bull Racing, everyone has been wondering which team Adrian Newey might join.

自打纽维宣布辞去红牛车队总工程师一职以来，大伙儿都在猜测他的下一站会是哪儿。

It’s a big question. It was a Newey-designed car that took Nigel Mansell to the world championship in 1992 and Alain Prost in 1993.

这可是个大新闻。1992年的曼赛尔和1993年的普罗斯特正是开着纽维设计的车拿下了世界冠军。

In the late Nineties, McLaren dominated using Newey’s cars, so it was obvious when he switched to Red Bull in 2006 what would happen next. And indeed it did.

上世纪90年代末，迈凯伦车队用纽维设计的车统治着围场。所以说在他2006年转到红牛车队之后，每个人都知道未来将发生些什么——事实也确实如此。

The simple fact of the matter is this. If Adrian Newey designed your car, there’s a very good chance you’ll win.

简单说就是这么一回事儿：如果说你的车是纽维设计出来的，那么你有很大概率取胜。

So where will he go next? Some say he will join Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari. Others reckon he’ll end up with Max Verstappen at Mercedes.

所以说纽维的下一站会是哪里呢？有人说他会和汉密尔顿一起去法拉利，也有人说他会和维斯塔潘一起加盟梅奔。

But there’s another possibility. Late last year, Newey started work on a new sailing boat.

但还有一种可能：去年纽维开始设计了一款帆船。

And as he’s now 65 years old, who knows?

而且他现在已经65岁了，谁又知道会发生些什么呢？

He might just decide to bugger off and spend the autumn of his years sailing round the world on that.

他没准就是想离开围场，开着他那一颗赛艇度过晚年呢。
