Adrian Newey, widely regarded as Formula One’s greatest designer and one of the main architects of Red Bull’s domain name, is leaving the world champions in the wake of the Christian Horner controversy, media reported on Thursday.
Newey, 65, has been with Red Bull since 2005 and has played a key role in the team’s thirteen world titles (seven drivers’ and six constructors’ titles) since 2010.
However, it is believed to have been disruptive within the team since team principal Horner was accused of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour through an employee.
Horner was acquitted following an internal investigation through Red Bull’s parent company before the worker was suspended. She is happy with this decision.
After German newspaper Auto Motor und Sport first reported on Newey’s position on Thursday, the BBC said it had “independently verified (the information) with high-level resources for Red Bull and Newey. “
They showed that their preference to leave was due to their dissatisfaction with Horner, which led to a struggle of forces at Red Bull.
World champion driver Max Verstappen is also frustrated by the situation.
His long career at Red Bull was called into question last month after his father, Jos, said the team risked being “torn apart” if Horner remained its principal.
A Red Bull team spokesperson said later on Thursday that they were “not aware” of Newey’s obvious intention to leave.
“Adrian has a contract at least until the end of 2025 and we don’t know if he will join the team,” he told AFP.
Last year, Verstappen and Red Bull had the most dominant season in F1 history, with the Dutchman winning 19 of 22 races and the team still one.
This season they have won 4 of the first races.
Newey has also worked with championship-winning teams at Williams and McLaren throughout his long career.
According to the BBC, it’s strongly linked to a stint at Ferrari.
Team principal Frederic Vasseur told AFP last week that “if all the other people who pass by to check at Mugello signal with Ferrari, we will have to buy a bus to pass out on the track. “
Mugello is a circuit that does not belong to Ferrari’s base in Maranello.
