Newey is heading to Ferrari after Red Bull pulled out

Adrian Newey to resign from Red Bull after the scandal involving team boss Christian Horner Is this a dream marriage with Ferrari?

Adrian Newey (65) once regretted that he had never worked for Ferrari or with Lewis Hamilton (39). Now he seems to want to tick these two missing boxes on his CV. F1-Insider.com had already reported at the beginning of April that the British technologist was thinking about moving: Now the decision has been made.

As Auto, Motor und Sport first reported, Newey has resigned from Red Bull. F1 Insider has asked around to Formula 1’s Daniel Jet Gear, as he is affectionately known on the scene, and can confirm the report. Newey is the first to leave following the scandal surrounding team boss Christian Horner.

Horner was close friends with the genius of aerodynamics, who still puts his designs on paper on the drawing board. Meanwhile, male friendship has turned into hatred. Newey doesn’t approve of the team boss’s behavior crossing the line towards his personal assistant – and pulls the trigger.

Newey runs from Horner

The rift between the two Englishmen was preceded by Horner’s demands for ever-increasing power. The CEO of Red Bull Racing, who has been mentioned in recent weeks, initially refused a paddock ticket to Newey’s wife Amanda last year and a little later, in a touch of megalomania, told his old friend in front of the same wife. that he was not the reason the Red Bulls won the series. Since then the atmosphere has been poisoned.

And what will happen next? Newey’s contract runs until the end of 2025. There would actually be a one-year cooling-off period after that, known as a garden holiday. But Newey is already negotiating an early release. He wants to leave Red Bull quickly.

An F1 insider has learned: The destination is Ferrari, where Lewis Hamilton will also anchor next year. Although the designer did not really want to work in Italy, working easily under the new team boss Frederic Vasseur, who is not in Maranello every day, makes the dream wedding possible.

For Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari, the internal team problems at Red Bull could be a guarantee of future success. The truth is: the world champions team is now slowly collapsing due to the performance of its boss Christian Horner. Although Newey’s right-hand man, chief engineer Pierre Waché, recently extended his contract with Red Bull, Mercedes has been working for the engineer, who is highly regarded by Max Verstappen. And in System 1, each contract can be terminated under certain conditions.

Although Hamilton can now rub his hands that he will be able to work with the man who is responsible for 13 drivers’ and twelve constructors’ titles in the future, Newey’s termination from Red Bull is probably just the beginning. Because many Thai owners are with team boss Horner, Max Verstappen is also thinking of changing.

Newey’s departure is likely to accelerate these issues. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff can be happy…
