Adrian Newey is not likely to leave Red Bull Racing any time soon, saying it would be like "walking out on your children."
Newey joined Red Bull in 2006 and played arguably one of the most important roles in taking the team to the Championship double in 2010 and again last season.
Newey, who previously won titles with Williams and McLaren, has in recent months been linked to a move to Ferrari with the Italian stable admitting they would welcome him with open arms.
The 53-year-old, though, says he has no intention of leaving.
"To be perfectly honest I can't see myself going anywhere else," he said.
"I've been very centrally involved with the team from very early on and proud we've been able to get from where we were, and the ashes of Jaguar, to where we are today.
"That in itself brings a huge amount of satisfaction and kind of a slightly paternal feeling of wanting that to carry on.
"To now leave for another team would feel a little like walking out on your children in a way."
Newey, who was present at Jerez on Tuesday to watch Red Bull's new RB8 make its debut, also spoke about the stepped nose design that all the teams who have launched - excluding McLaren - have opted for.
The nose has been labeled 'ugly' by most, however, Newey reckons it is a case of performance taking precedence over looks.
"It's a shame to have to come up with a solution that's not particularly attractive, but ultimately your performance has to come before aesthetics and this is no exception," he said.
"With regard to the McLaren, that is simply because they have had to pursue a lower chassis and nose direction compared to ourselves and many others, so to continue that direction they didn't have to put a step in it whereas those that have been high-nosed have."
