The future of Adrian Newey has been a hot topic in the automotive community in recent weeks. The renowned British designer, often hailed as the best in Formula 1, started the 2024 season with internal conflicts within his team. This instability eventually led to his decision to leave, severing ties with the team. Since then, there has been much speculation about whether Newey would join Ferrari. Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya, who has worked with Newey in the past, shed some light on the situation by revealing the only condition that could convince Newey to move to Maranello.
Montoya suggested that Ferrari would have to offer Newey a unique contract that would allow him to design both supercars for the factory and for the Formula 1 team. This unorthodox provision would appeal to Newey’s desire to challenge himself and expand the scope of his creativity. It could be the key to persuading him to join Ferrari and embark on a new chapter in his F1 career.
Losing a design genius like Newey could potentially create chaos within Red Bull. Although there has been a noticeable drop in performance after his departure, the team’s technical director, [name], reassured that they are still on track to meet their expectations. He explained that Red Bull has devised plans to deal with Newey’s absence and is already working on the 2026 regulations, which show promising signs of progress.
Despite these assurances, the impact of Newey’s departure will certainly be felt throughout Red Bull’s technical department. With the new set of regulations, the team will have to navigate uncharted waters and handle things independently, which could lead to an exciting title fight in the future.
