Former Formula 1 team boss Eddie Jordan shared a story about Christian Horner’s reaction to learning about his involvement in Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull. Red Bull recently announced that Newey will be leaving the team in early 2025 after a successful career as an F1 car designer. Jordan, who assisted Newey with his exit negotiations, recounted Horner’s surprised reaction to the news. Horner apparently referred to Jordan as a “silent assassin,” a term Jordan sought clarification on during his podcast discussion with David Coulthard. Despite the secrecy surrounding his role in Newey’s departure, Jordan praised Newey’s talent and engineering skills in Formula 1. According to Jordan, Newey possesses exceptional abilities in maximizing F1 car performance and staying ahead of the competition in terms of design and engineering.
