Renowned Formula 1 designer, Adrian Newey, will become a free agent in the first quarter of 2025. The Red Bull team has been facing turbulence since the beginning of the season, which has had a significant impact on their aerodynamics department. It was recently announced that Newey will leave the team in 2025, and rumors suggest he will join the Ferrari team next season.
Adrian Newey is highly respected in the F1 paddock for his design skills. With numerous world championships on his resume, his departure from Red Bull could have a major impact on a top team. Speculations about Newey’s next destination have been circulating, and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko predicts he may move to a promising new project. However, it seems increasingly likely that he will join the team based in Maranello next year.
Newey’s creations have been crucial to Red Bull’s dominance in F1, and another world title is expected to be on the horizon for driver Max Verstappen with a new masterpiece from the designer. However, there are rumors that Verstappen may leave the team after Newey’s departure. Despite this, Marko remains calm and believes that future regulations in 2026 will level the playing field. He also suggests that if Red Bull can continue to produce a competitive car, Verstappen will have no reason to leave.
The F1 driver market is known for its volatility, and anything can happen in the coming weeks. The next few weeks will be interesting as the peak of the “silly season” approaches.
