Design genius Adrian Newey could see potential plans to move to another Formula 1 team thwarted due to reported clauses
Reports suggest that Adrian Newey has expressed his desire to leave Red Bull after nearly two decades, citing frustration with the ongoing power struggles within the team. Despite speculation about potential offers from Aston Martin and Ferrari, Newey has not made his intentions public to Red Bull’s senior members. Ferrari, under new leadership since Frederic Vasseur’s appointment, has been aggressively recruiting engineers from rivals, including attempts to lure Newey in the past. Newey’s contract with Red Bull runs until 2025, with clauses that could extend it further and limit his involvement with a new team until at least 2028. The possibility of Newey taking on a consultant role, similar to Ferrari’s Rory Byrne, or potentially joining a competitor earlier is still on the table, pending agreements between all involved parties.
