Adrian Newey has played a vital role in the success that Red Bull has achieved in Formula 1.
The 2024 season has been dominated by the frenzy at Red Bull, with rumors of key members potentially leaving the team. This has led to speculation about poaching from rival teams, including Mercedes.
In recent weeks, there have been various rumors and possibilities circulating. One of them is the potential axing of a certain individual from the team, which has strained the relationship between Red Bull and this person. As a result, Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes, has made offers to Red Bull employees, possibly including Adrian Newey.
When asked about the possibility of Newey joining Mercedes, Wolff expressed optimism about the situation. He believes that he can attract some members from Red Bull to his team, putting pressure on Red Bull to resolve their internal issues quickly or risk losing more key individuals.
It has been more than a month since it was announced that a certain individual would be leaving Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season. This came as a surprise to the Mercedes camp, as this person had signed a contract just last year. This unexpected departure has put Wolff in a difficult position as he tries to find a suitable replacement.
During a media briefing, Wolff stated that he has no ill feelings towards this individual. However, he was caught off guard by the timing of the announcement, as he had full confidence in this person. Now, Wolff is under pressure to find the perfect replacement.
Therefore, Toto Wolff will be carefully reviewing the resumes of all potential drivers. It is expected that the identity of the person who will fill the seat at Brackley will be announced by the end of the summer break.
