Adrian Newey opens up on ‘crazy’ Red Bull F1 departure

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Adrian Newey has opened up on the once “crazy” notion of leaving Red Bull to move onto pastures new in Formula 1 with Aston Martin.

At 66, Adrian Newey has had a highly successful career as an F1 designer, contributing to world championship wins with Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull. His time at Red Bull, from 2006 to 2019, saw him transform the team into a title-winning powerhouse. Last May, Newey made the big decision to leave Red Bull after 19 years, moving on to become Aston Martin’s Managing Technical Partner starting in 2025. Reflecting on his departure, Newey admitted it was a tough call, but ultimately felt he needed a new challenge. After considering various options, including retirement, Newey joined Aston Martin due to the allure of chairman Lawrence Stroll’s passion and enthusiasm. Moving forward, Newey will be overseeing Aston Martin’s technical efforts and reuniting with Honda in 2026 as they become the team’s engine provider.
