Renowned Formula 1 designer Adrian Newey will become a free agent in the first quarter of 2025. The Red Bull team has been in turmoil since the early stages of the season, and this has had a significant impact on their aerodynamics department. It was recently announced that Newey will be leaving the team in 2025, and rumors suggest that he will join the Ferrari outfit next season.
Adrian Newey is highly respected in the F1 paddock for his design skills. With numerous world championships under his belt, his departure from Red Bull could have a major impact on a top team. Speculation about Newey’s next destination has been circulating, and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko predicts that he may move to a promising new project. However, it appears increasingly likely that he will join the Maranello-based team next year.
Newey’s creations have been instrumental in Red Bull’s dominance in F1, and it is expected that another world title is on the horizon for driver Max Verstappen with a new masterpiece from the designer. However, there are rumors that Verstappen may leave the team after Newey’s departure. Despite this, Marko remains calm and believes that the upcoming regulations in 2026 will level the playing field. He also suggests that if Red Bull can continue to produce a competitive car, Verstappen will have no reason to leave.
The driver market in F1 is known for its volatility, and anything can happen in the coming weeks. The next few weeks will be interesting as the peak of the “silly season” approaches.
