Adrian Newey looks set to leave Red Bull, his home in F1 for the past 18 years. If that is to happen, as it is expected, where might be the next stop in his long career?
Adrian Newey, the legendary F1 designer and engineer, plans to depart from Red Bull, his F1 home since 2006, after a successful career that included guiding the team to multiple constructors’ and drivers’ titles with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Newey is reportedly dissatisfied with the internal power struggle within the team led by Christian Horner. Despite being under contract until 2025, Newey is expected to leave early in 2024 and could potentially join another team before 2026. Possible destinations for Newey include Ferrari, Aston Martin, or Mercedes, with Ferrari being the sentimental favorite due to past connections and the allure of working with Lewis Hamilton. Aston Martin has also made an offer to Newey, with ambitions of becoming a championship-winning team in the future, but the team’s current standing might not match Newey’s championship aspirations. Ultimately, whether Newey prioritizes adding more championship wins to his illustrious career or seeks a new challenge will determine his next move in Formula 1.
