Ferrari’s Newey ‘regret’ as McLaren unveil Red Bull rival – RacingNews365 Review
Ferrari was heavily-linked with Adrian Newey after his departure from Red Bull was announced, but he ultimately did not swap Milton Keynes for Maranello – instead doing so for Silverstone and Aston Martin. One world champion Newey has worked with during his long and successful career believes the Scuderia should be “licking its wounds” at not signing him. Daniel Ricciardo is now firmly in F1 exile – but arguably, that began at the end of 2022 when McLaren jettisoned him. The damage was already done for the Australian by then, as details of just how he was destroyed at the team are analyzed. McLaren and rear wings have been something of a hot topic recently with its F1 example drawing attention for its flexing. The road car company has now got into the game with its all-new hypercar – the W1 – that features a moveable rear wing. Red Bull has seen something of a brain drain this year with its chief technical officer, sporting director, and head of strategy all leaving, after the political tensions at the team at the start of the year involving the allegations and investigation into Christian Horner. Ralf Schumacher has put forward an alternate theory behind the departures of Adrian Newey, Jonathan Wheatley, and Will Courtenay.
