Newey set to leave Red Bull F1 team
Adrian Newey, the long-standing designer at Red Bull, has made the decision to depart the team after a twenty-year tenure during which he played a crucial role in creating championship-winning cars for Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Reports of Newey’s departure surfaced through German outlet Auto Motor und Sport and were later confirmed by sources familiar with the matter to Autosport. Despite recently signing a new contract with Red Bull, Newey’s future at the team has been uncertain due to internal power struggles and a recent controversy involving team principal Christian Horner. With Red Bull currently dominating the championship with Verstappen and the RB20, Newey’s exit comes as a significant setback for the team. Verstappen’s future with Red Bull may hinge on the stability of key figures within the organization, including Newey. Newey, renowned for his success at Williams and McLaren before joining Red Bull’s project in 2006, faces questions about his next career move amid speculations regarding interest from Aston Martin and Ferrari.
