Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull Racing after 19 years – but how will this affect the environment, and in particular Max Verstappen, whose future is also uncertain?
The news is official: Formula 1 car designer Adrian Newey, a key part of Red Bull since 2006, is leaving the team. Newey played a vital role in Red Bull’s success over the past 19 years, and his departure will be a significant loss for the team. Before joining Red Bull, Newey had successes at Williams and McLaren, but he chose to be part of Red Bull’s project in its early stages. Red Bull’s dominance began in 2009 with Newey’s designs and continued with four world titles with Sebastian Vettel. Despite recent internal struggles in the team, Newey’s departure raises questions about the future, especially for star driver Max Verstappen. Verstappen, whose loyalty lies with Helmut Marko, may be impacted by Newey’s exit, highlighting the importance of Newey’s contribution to the team’s success.
