It’s quite a shake-up in the Formula 1 world as Adrian Newey, the legendary designer behind Red Bull’s 13 World Championships, is parting ways with the team after two decades of incredible success. Rumors about this move have been circulating for a while now, with Newey eager to explore new opportunities.
So, what’s next for this iconic figure? Well, the most probable scenario is him joining a rival team. It’s no secret that Newey’s talent is highly sought-after in the F1 paddock, and pretty much every team would jump at the chance to have him on board. Despite his preference for old-school methods like sketching designs with a pencil and paper, he’s still at the top of his game.
Ferrari seems to be the front-runner in the speculation game. Newey has expressed regret about never working with the famous Italian outfit and has even hinted at it in the past. Plus, with the team undergoing a rebuild and signing Lewis Hamilton, it could be the perfect opportunity for him to make history with Ferrari.
But there are other enticing options too. Aston Martin, with their financial backing and ambitious plans, could be a good fit. Plus, working with Fernando Alonso is a tempting prospect for Newey. And let’s not forget about Williams and McLaren, both in need of a revival, or the new kids on the block like Audi and Alpine, who are gearing up to enter the F1 arena.
Wherever he ends up, one thing’s for sure: Adrian Newey’s next chapter in Formula 1 is bound to be fascinating.
