Max Verstappen’s Reaction to Adrian Newey’s Red Bull Exit Under Close Scrutiny

The Formula 1 world is abuzz with the news of Adrian Newey’s impending departure from Red Bull Racing next year, and all eyes are now on Max Verstappen to see how the Dutchman will react to the exit of the legendary car designer.

Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher believes that Verstappen may now want to leave Red Bull following Newey’s decision to leave the team. The ongoing turmoil within Red Bull, with team principal Christian Horner at the center of a civil war, is believed to be a major factor in Newey’s departure.

Schumacher stated, “I also think he has other options. In the paddock, you already hear stories about him talking to others. The question is whether it will happen next year or the year after, but for me, it is certain that he wants to leave.”

The departure of Newey has also raised concerns about other key figures leaving Red Bull, with Schumacher suggesting that engineers may want to follow Newey to another team. The situation has left many in the F1 community disappointed, with former driver Johnny Herbert expressing that Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz would be devastated by the current state of the team.

Meanwhile, Newey is reportedly being courted by Ferrari and Aston Martin, but his friend and manager Eddie Jordan believes that the 65-year-old may take a break before considering his next move.

With Newey’s exit set to shake up the F1 landscape, all eyes will be on Max Verstappen to see how he navigates this new chapter in his career. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in the world of Formula 1.
