Adrian Newey, who officially starts at Red Bull Racing today, has scotched rumours that following his appointment to the team, the next target is to land a big name driver like Raikonnen or Schumacher.

With both drivers available for 2007, F1's rumour mill is hinting that - with arguably the best technical brain now on board - a superstar at the wheel is the next step.

''Initially we'll want to continue to work with David (Coulthard) and young drivers,'' he told Autosport magazine.

The Briton said it is difficult to attract a top-five driver until a team produces a quick car.
