Red Bull confirmed Adrian Newey’s upcoming departure on Wednesday, revealing that he will attend specific races this season before leaving the team in the first quarter of 2025. Newey will focus on finishing the RB17 Hypercar project, set to debut at Goodwood in July. Despite interest from teams like Aston Martin and Ferrari, Newey’s manager, Jordan, believes Newey may take a break after leaving Red Bull, rather than immediately joining another team. At 65, Newey may be looking for a change and a break from the constant pressure he faced at Red Bull. Newey’s departure poses a challenge for Red Bull’s competitors who have been vying for his innovative prowess.

With Newey’s influential role in Red Bull’s championship victories, his next move in Formula 1 remains uncertain.
