By Jonathan McEvoy The attention of  people around the world was centred on Lewis Hamilton winning the Spanish Grand Prix, but Formula One's intrigue involved a British boffin with an H4 pencil. As so often, the real stories occur off the track. So it is in the case of Adrian Newey, Red Bull's peerless designer, whose services are being sought by Ferrari. Newey is thought to earn £7million a year at Red Bull, meaning that to sign him Ferrari's president Luca di Montezemolo would need to be the man that broke the bank at Maranello. That is something he would be willing to do.
