Adrian Newey’s departure from the F1 World Champion Red Bull Racing Team is official after weeks of speculation.
Formula One’s most sought-after designer Adrian Newey will leave Red Bull Racing in the first quarter of 2025, after 19 years at the famous F1 team.
Red Bull officially confirmed the Briton’s departure – which had been heavily speculated upon for several weeks – in a statement on Wednesday.
The BBC and Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport reported last month that the Briton had told Red Bull he wanted to move on following allegations about team principal Christian Horner.
Horner was cleared in February of alleged misconduct towards a female employee, who has lodged an appeal against the outcome.
“For almost two decades it has been my great honour to have played a key role in Red Bull Racing’s progress from upstart newcomer to multiple title-winning Team,” Newey said in a statement.
