Red Bull “unaware” of Adrian Newey intention to quit

Formula 1 was rocked by shocking news on Thursday with Adrian Newey reportedly informing Red Bull of his intention to step down as chief technical director.

However, Red Bull said it had no official information on the allegations alleging Newey left. According to the team, Newey is contractually bound until the end of 2025, and there is no indication that he will join another team.

Speculation about Newey’s future has raised the possibility of a significant move to teams such as Ferrari, Aston Martin or Mercedes. However, Red Bull insisted that they had not received any official communication regarding Newey’s departure.

Sky Sports’ Craig Slater reported that he has spoken to a number of senior Formula 1 figures, many of whom have confirmed that Newey is considering ending his tenure at Red Bull. If that happens, contract clauses would require Newey to take a one-year sabbatical before joining another Formula 1 team.

Adrian Newey is widely recognized as one of the greatest car designers in Formula 1 history. His impact on Red Bull’s current dominance is obvious and the RB20 powering Max Verstappen for the fourth time in a row is a testament to his talent and ability.

Newey’s potential departure from Red Bull will have a significant impact on the world of Formula 1. His technical talent and ability to design winning cars is unmatched, and his departure could jeopardize Red Bull’s ability to maintain its dominance in the series.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Newey’s future, one thing is certain: his contribution to Formula 1 over the years has been unparalleled, and his absence will leave a void that will be difficult to fill.
