Adrian Newey has revealed that he will carry on working on the Red Bull RB17 hypercar project after he leaves the team for Aston Martin in 2025.
Earlier in the year, Red Bull announced Adrian Newey’s departure from the team in the first quarter of 2025. The 65-year-old then took on a new role as Aston Martin’s managing technical partner and shareholder last month under Lawrence Stroll’s team. Newey’s stint with Red Bull since 2006 resulted in six Constructors’ Championships and seven Drivers’ Titles. He was tasked with leading Red Bull’s first hypercar project, which debuted at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Newey revealed on the High Performance Podcast that even after his departure announcement, he continued working on the RB17 track car until March 1. Despite stepping back from Formula 1 duties, Newey cited feeling stagnant as a reason for seeking new challenges with Aston Martin.
