Adrian Newey, the Chief Technical Officer of Red Bull Racing, is set to leave the team in 2025 after nearly two decades of association. Known for his role in designing cars that have won 25 Formula 1 championships, including the last three titles won by Max Verstappen, Newey’s departure has raised concerns about Red Bull’s prospects in 2026. However, Verstappen sees a possible positive outcome, suggesting that this could create opportunities for other talented individuals to step up in the team. Acknowledging Newey’s contributions, Verstappen emphasizes the importance of working with the available team members, who are highly skilled in their respective roles.
Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, expressed his fears that Red Bull would collapse if Christian Horner remained in light of the news about Newey. When asked about his own opinions on the matter, Max Verstappen chose to give a measured response, stating that he has learned not to reveal everything to the media. He believes that sharing every thought may not benefit anyone, including himself, the team, and others in the paddock.
