Adrian Newey, a highly acclaimed designer in the history of Formula 1, recently shared his thoughts on the current direction of a long-standing team in the sport. After an impressive 18-year stint with Red Bull, the 10-time Grand Prix winner announced his departure from the team.
Newey’s achievements in Formula 1 are notable, with 13 driver championships and 12 constructor championships to his name. With over 40 years of experience in top-level motorsport, his decision to leave Red Bull has caught the attention of several teams throughout the grid who are eager to secure his services.
According to Gerhard Berger, joining Scuderia Ferrari could be the ideal move for Newey. Ferrari has been a formidable force in Formula 1 this season and is eagerly anticipating the arrival of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who is scheduled to join the team next season. The addition of Newey to this already dynamic combination would further strengthen Ferrari’s pursuit of dominance, leveraging the technical expertise of the British designer.
Fred Vasseur, the team principal of Ferrari, emphasized the urgent need for the team to accelerate its upgrades for the upcoming races. After a disappointing double retirement in Montreal, Ferrari is looking to close the gap in race pace and reclaim its position at the top of performance. Vasseur acknowledges the importance of faster and more effective upgrades to narrow the 49-point difference between Ferrari and Red Bull.
Ambos os pilotos, Charles Leclerc e [nome faltando], conquistaram vitórias nesta temporada, contribuindo para o total de 252 pontos da Ferrari em nove corridas. Isso os coloca a uma distância alcançável da Red Bull. Vasseur agora enfrenta o desafio de elaborar um plano estratégico para trazer as atualizações necessárias para o SF-24 e superar a Red Bull na disputa pelo campeonato pela primeira vez em mais de dois anos.
