Legendary Designer Adrian Newey Reportedly Wants to Leave Red Bull Amid Power Struggle Rumors

Legendary designer Adrian Newey has shocked the Formula 1 world by expressing his desire to leave Red Bull, the team he has been with since 2006. The news, first reported by Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport and confirmed by Sky Sports, has sent shockwaves through the sport.

Newey, who has overseen all of Red Bull’s title-winning cars, including the current dominant machine, has reportedly informed senior colleagues at Red Bull of his wish to cut ties with the team. While no formal resignation has been received by Red Bull, the 65-year-old chief technical officer’s desire to leave has been communicated informally.

The potential departure of Newey comes amidst a period of turbulence at Red Bull, with reports of a ‘power struggle’ within the team following an investigation into allegations against team principal Christian Horner earlier this year. The situation has reportedly led Newey to question his future with the team.

Having designed cars that have won 13 world titles for Red Bull, including the recent dominant machine that has won 25 of the last 27 races, Newey’s departure would be a significant loss for the team. Speculation has already begun about his next move, with Ferrari and Aston Martin rumored to be interested in his services.

As one of the most revered figures in Formula 1 history, Newey’s potential exit from Red Bull would mark the end of an era for the team. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how this situation unfolds and where Newey’s next chapter in F1 will take him.
