Newey, who has been with the team for almost two decades and contributed to their 13 championships, will be leaving the team in 2025. Speculations arose last week about Newey’s departure, with reports suggesting that internal conflicts within Red Bull played a role in his decision. However, both Horner and Newey emphasized their friendship and praised each other’s contributions. Horner credited Newey for turning Red Bull from a newcomer into a dominant force in Formula 1. He highlighted Newey’s ability to think beyond the limits of the sport and incorporate diverse inspirations into the design of his cars. Horner also acknowledged Newey’s talent for adapting to rule changes and finding strategic advantages. He described their partnership as successful and enjoyable, and expressed his gratitude for everything Newey has brought to the team. As for Newey’s future, rumors suggest that Ferrari is vying for his services as he approaches the end of his career at 65 years old.
