Adrian Newey is a highly influential figure within the Red Bull F1 team. The start of the 2024 season has been overshadowed by the drama and power struggles occurring at Red Bull. As a result, several members of the F1 division have lost confidence in the team. Now, it appears that Newey may be in negotiations with Ferrari, which could lead to his departure from Red Bull.
Speculations have been circulating in recent months about Newey’s possible departure from the Austrian team. Meanwhile, Ferrari has recently hired the seven-time champion, which was expected to attract more members from other teams. The stars are currently aligning in favor of Ferrari, and they may be able to lure the legendary British designer away from their rivals, Red Bull.
According to reports from Bild, if Dietrich Mateschitz were still alive, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner would have been fired a long time ago. This sheds light on the power dynamics within the team and suggests that Horner may have a thirst for power. Furthermore, there are rumors that Newey’s move to Ferrari is well advanced.
The ongoing frenzy at Red Bull has put the team in a difficult position. They must decide whether to retain their CEO/team principal of the F1 team, who is believed to have the support of Thai shareholders. However, Austrian shareholders have criticized this particular decision. If this matter is not resolved, it could have significant consequences for the team, potentially resulting in the loss of their esteemed 65-year-old designer.
The rumors surrounding Newey have surprised many within the paddock. The 80-year-old veteran played a crucial role in building the team alongside Horner in the early 2000s. Despite the speculations, there are still people who have faith in Newey’s commitment to Red Bull.
Helmut Marko, en particulier, trouve difficile de croire que Newey quitterait l’équipe compte tenu du succès qu’ils ont rencontré ensemble au fil des ans. Il pense que les réalisations passées de Red Bull devraient être suffisantes pour convaincre Newey de rester avec l’équipe.
Malgré la perspective sombre de Newey quittant Red Bull, l’équipe fera tout son possible pour éviter que le designer britannique renommé ne parte si tôt.
