F1now it seems really decided: Adrian Newey he chose to leave Red Bull. Certainly not an easy decision, but on the other hand nothing lasts forever. The first interesting question to evaluate within this scenario concerns a fact that we could summarize by mentioning the third principle of dynamics, a law introduced by Sir Isaac Newton in the now very distant 1687: action and reaction. Yes, because thinking about the career of the brilliant British designer, we can easily see how moving him to a team reflexively means victory.
Action and reaction, therefore, which is igniting a tense struggle. Three teams are moving on him: Aston Martin, Mercedes And Ferrari. Three team Of F1 who are doing all they can to get him, as they put the genius under contract Stratford–Upon–Avon ensures a triumphal future. This is the story. With all due respect to the other two contenders, the charm that the Prancing Horse can and knows how to show off it has nothing to do with the two aforementioned teams which, put together, can “boast” 18 years of history (Mercedes 14, Aston Martin 4) behind them in F1. From this point of view the comparison is merciless.
Precisely for this reason, regardless, the proposal of the historic team Ferrari without a doubt it is the loosest of the 3. A challenge that cannot and in fact does not scare Adrian Newey at all. A man of his experience with a know-how infinite on fluid dynamics, cannot fear the past of team Of Maranello. This is why claiming that any doubts about Newey’s choice to land in Italy are linked to the fear of failure are absurd.. What really interests the Englishman concerns freedom in her work. The possibility of diversifying on different fronts, without chains, where his presence in the factory is not assiduous.
Red Bull, the decision that pushed Newey away
Reflecting on what was written in the last paragraph, one wonders what really prompted it Newey to evaluate abandonment. Red Bull is going through a difficult time at a corporate level. The situation Horner it’s just the tip of a iceberg. It has been a complicated context for some time now that sooner or later had to explode. The contrast between the two internal “factions”, the Austrian and the Thai, is so clear that disagreement on various fronts is prevalent. A scenario that inevitably divides and although for the moment the colored cars blue racing continue to dominate on the track, off the track the problems multiply.
Then there is another factor, the triggering one as far as Newey. In addition to the situation just mentioned which undoubtedly does not please Adrianas he certainly doesn’t want to see himself entangled in the shady “Employee F1 towards other shores it mainly concerns “downgrading”. We are referring to a clear fact, keeping in mind that the project Red bull to give life to the second generation of wing carseason 2026different aerodynamics and above all a great revolution in terms of motoring, it was placed totally in the hands of Pierre Waché.
The Frenchman recently renewed his contract and his teamto convince him to stay considering the multiple external temptations, has chosen the forty-nine year old from Auchel as the spearhead for the medium-long term future. The Briton’s pupil is certainly ready for this great assignment, Horner he has no doubts about it, also because he is supported by a group of truly first-rate technicians. A move from a potentially winning side which, however, seems to be one of the main reasons that led to it Newey to think about his future far from Milton Keynes.
