Adrian Newey, the Chief Technical Officer of Red Bull Racing, is rumored to be considering leaving the team after nearly two decades. This decision could have significant consequences for Red Bull, according to former Formula 1 strategist Bernie Collins. Newey, a design legend in the sport, has been linked to potential moves to Ferrari or Aston Martin. With new technical rules set to be implemented in 2026, Collins believes that Newey’s departure would hinder Red Bull’s chances of maintaining their success. The team has excelled in aerodynamics in recent years, and losing Newey could have a detrimental impact on their championship prospects. The uncertainty surrounding Red Bull boss Christian Horner’s conduct has reportedly contributed to Newey’s potential departure. Collins suggests that if Newey leaves, it could trigger a chain reaction, potentially leading to star driver Max Verstappen considering a move to another team. The situation highlights the importance of teamwork and leadership in Formula 1, especially when preparing for major regulation changes. Red Bull’s performance in 2026 could be significantly affected if Newey is not involved in the development of their car and internal power struggles persist within the team.
