It had been in the air for a long time, Red Bull finally announced it this Wednesday, Adrian New will leave the team based in Milton Keynes “in the first quarter of 2025“.
But its collaboration with the F1 team ends immediately since Red Bull indicated in his press release what “the engineering master will step away from Formula 1 design to focus on the final development and delivery of Red Bull’s first hypercar, the highly anticipated RB17“.
A hard blow for Red Bull as we know the importance of the British engineer in the creation of the car which has dominated the discipline for several seasons. Arriving in 2006 in the Austrian team, he will therefore pack his bags following nearly 20 years of good and loyal service.
“We would like to thank Adrian for the results obtained since the start of our collaboration. He was instrumental in securing seven Drivers’ World Championship titles and six Constructors’ World Championship titles, a total of 118 wins and 101 poles, including STR’s victory and pole position. 2007“, the team added.
The recent controversies surrounding the team and in particular Christian Horner will therefore have had enough weight in the balance to push the Briton to the start. It now remains to be seen what the future of Adrian Newey will be, he who is being sent by certain rumors to the Ferrari side.
