According to the Colombian, the Red has an irresistible charm
Adrian Newey on May 1st he made his separation from Red Bull official, a team that he will be able to leave definitively at the end of the first quarter of 2025. According to what was reported in the latest issue of Business F1 he had a direct contract with the Mateschitz family who was no longer ‘iron’ after the departure of owner Dietrich and left Red Bull because the family spirit that animated the team was lost after the death of Mateschitz senior due to the thirst for power of team principal Christian Horner who had convinced Newey to embrace the Red Bull cause, also convincing him to put an end to almost twenty years of results beyond the rosy expectations of those who were seen at the beginning of their careers as simple ‘drink drinkers’.
The eight months of gardening leave are the maximum that Red Bull could impose on him in light of the type of working relationship that existed between the aerodynamics wizard and the Milton Keynes team. Supporting Newey in the process of separating from Red Bull was his friend Eddie Jordan. Waiting for Newey is there Ferrari.
Juan Pablo Montoyawho was able to work with Newey in the two years he spent at McLaren in 2005-2006, believes that in his opinion the technician would jump at the opportunity to work for Ferrari: “If Ferrari told him ‘The next five supercars will be your responsibility and you will have to build F1’, I think he would jump at the opportunity because he likes to push himself further than possible – declared Juancho reached by the newspaper racingnews365.com – he has already built a supercar for Red Bull, but Ferrari is Ferrari, whether you like it or not the brand matters.”
