Adrian Newey has played a vital role in the success that Red Bull has achieved in Formula 1.
The 2024 season has been dominated by turmoil at Red Bull, with rumors that key members may leave the team. This has led to speculation about hiring from rival teams, including Mercedes.
In recent weeks, various rumors and possibilities have been circulating. One of them is the possible dismissal of a certain individual from the team, which has strained the relationship between Red Bull and that person. As a result, Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes, has made offers to Red Bull employees, possibly including Adrian Newey.
When asked about the possibility of Newey joining Mercedes, Wolff expressed optimism about the situation. He believes he can attract some Red Bull members to his team, putting pressure on Red Bull to quickly resolve their internal issues or risk losing more key individuals.
It has been over a month since it was announced that a certain individual would leave Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season. This caught the Mercedes camp off guard, as this person had signed a contract last year. This unexpected departure has put Wolff in a difficult position as he tries to find a suitable replacement.
During a press conference, Wolff stated that he has no negative feelings towards this individual. However, he was surprised by the timing of the announcement, as he had full confidence in that person. Now, Wolff is under pressure to find the perfect replacement.
Therefore, Toto Wolff will carefully review the resumes of all potential drivers. It is expected that the identity of the person who will fill the seat in Brackley will be announced by the end of the summer break.
