Red Bull have confirmed their design chief Adrian Newey will leave the team in early 2025.

Newey, regarded as the greatest designer in the history of Formula 1, told Red Bull last week he wanted to leave in the wake of the controversy involving allegations about team principal Christian Horner.

The 65-year-old’s next team has not been decided but Ferrari are hot favourites to sign him.

Horner said Newey leaves Red Bull "a true legend" and credits him for "all of our greatest moments from the past 20 years".

 

My gut feeling was he was going to retire. Reading the negotiation to shorten his contract and remove the gardening leave makes me think he’s switching teams. Hmm.
