Red Bull’s F1 rivals facing 2027 wait if they want Newey
Adrian Newey has privately expressed his desire to leave the Red Bull team based in Milton Keynes due to disillusionment with recent power struggles and uncertainty regarding team boss Christian Horner’s future. Despite rumors, there has been no formal communication with senior management at the team or Red Bull’s parent company about his potential departure, and no official resignation has been submitted. Speculations suggest that Newey could be lured by both Ferrari and Aston Martin, with both teams eager to benefit from his expertise in their quest to succeed in F1. However, Newey’s existing contract with Red Bull extends until the end of 2025, with potential non-compete clauses potentially blocking his move to a rival team until 2027. This complex situation raises questions about Newey’s future in F1, with the possibility of him stepping away from the sport entirely to focus on other projects like Red Bull’s RB17 hypercar.
