Adrian Newey, the Chief Technical Officer of Red Bull Racing, is rumored to be leaving the team after nearly 20 years. This news has caught the attention of former Formula 1 driver Martin Brundle, who believes that Newey’s departure would have a significant impact on the rest of the teams in the sport. Brundle suggests that Newey’s expertise and experience would be a valuable asset to any team that manages to secure his services, while also preventing a rival team from benefiting from his talents. While there have been reports of Ferrari and Aston Martin expressing interest in Newey, Red Bull has stated that they are unaware of any plans for him to leave. However, it is worth noting that Newey’s current contract with Red Bull contains clauses that could potentially delay his departure until 2027. Despite this, Ferrari is reportedly willing to pay a substantial sum to negotiate an earlier release with Red Bull. In addition to this, Ferrari has been actively recruiting talent, with Red Bull’s Technical Director Pierre Wache being mentioned as a potential target. Furthermore, Ferrari Chairman John Elkann has recently signed Lewis Hamilton to a long-term contract, with the intention of bringing the seven-time champion to Maranello in 2025.
