Adrian Newey, the designer responsible for much of Red Bull’s success, would leave the team to join Ferrari, according to multiple press reports in Europe
The team designer Red Bull of Formula 1, Adrian Neweya key piece for the success of the Austrian team, would be about to announce his departure to join the Ferrari team in 2026, according to various media in Europe.

“Newey is said to be unhappy with the power struggle in the team and does not want to be pushed entirely into the RB17 hypercar project,” the report states.
For their part, BBC Sport and Autosport, specialized media, replicated the information according to their own sources.
There have only been five dates on the Formula 1 calendar and important movements have already been completed in the driver market, such as Lando Norris’ extension with McLaren, Charles Leclerc’s extension with Ferrari, the most shocking being the departure of Lewis Hamilton for the red team, an organization that could announce another surprise acquisition of equal or greater magnitude than that of Lewis, that of Adrian Newey.
Rumors of Newey leaving Red Bull have always existed, but the recent power struggle within the organization and the alleged offer from the Austrian team to leave him exclusively in charge of the RB17 project have meant that the decision to change scene could be simpler for the British engineer.

Newey has a contract with Red Bull until the end of 2025, the issue is that as he is an employee with access to so much confidential information about the Red Bull concept, he will not be able to join another team for at least 6 months after his last day within. of Milton Keynes.
