There are increasing reports that designer Adrian Newey will leave Red Bull Racing at the end of this F1 season. This would mark a remarkable end to years of collaboration; it is also unclear whether Newey would work for a competing team.
Rumors have been circulating for some time that Adrian Newey would leave the Red Bull Racing team. On several occasions in recent years, Newey was close to having already made a switch. In recent months, rumors about Newey’s departure have increased again, especially amid the unrest that arose at Red Bull following the ‘Christian Horner case’.
According to ‘Auto Motor und Sport’, Adrian Newey will soon announce that he will leave the Red Bull Racing team. If the news becomes official, the main question is whether Newey will definitively turn his back on Formula 1 or switch to a competing F1 team.
Aston Martin is said to have already approached Adrian Newey and Ferrari also made several attempts to get Adrian Newey to make the switch (Christian Horner reveals: “It was half an hour before Adrian Newey signed with Ferrari”). At Ferrari, they will make a new lucrative contract offer to the top designer when they announce a farewell to Newey.
Adrian Newey is said to have already informed Red Bull management that he wants to leave Red Bull. Now we just have to wait for an official announcement.
