Adrian Neweythe successful British engineer Red Bullhas been the great protagonist of the Formula 1 Miami Gran Premio played this weekend. Your future is the great unknown of the market after just a few days ago his current team confirmed his departure before the 2025 season begins.

Newey has become the figure most desired by the teams, above any of the pilots who have not yet resolved their future. It is not surprising if we take into account that From his slate, cars have been born that have won 25 world titles. Formula 1 (between drivers’ and constructors’ championships).

Newey has been a key player in Red Bull’s modern successes.

A street sports car: your new motivation

At 65 years old (40 of them in F1), Newey has been looking for new motivations for some time. For this reason, a decade ago she enrolled in different projects, such as the Oracle boat design for the America’s Cup or, in the times of the alliance between Red Bull y Aston Martinwith the development of the Aston Martin Valkyrie.

And street supercar is he british brain dream for a long time and, in fact, when the Austrian company broke up with Aston Martin (and the hypercar began to be ‘exploited’ by the car manufacturer), At Red Bull they got back to work…and they commissioned Newey to be the company’s first street car.

Through Advanced Technologiesthe technological subsidiary of the mother brand, Red Bull, Newey has been developing this hpyercar for some time one hundred percent of the beverage brand. Recently, before the British genius considered a future outside the company, we learned about his first details (you can see them here).

Now when Newey has decided abandon ship with whom he has navigated the last two decades of his Formula 1 career, the RB17 will be his last legacy. In fact, the genius of aerodynamics will soon be, logically, relegated from racing team and will be able to focus his last months at Red Bull on complete development of a car that promises a lot.

It will be presented at Goodwood…this year!

Why Newey will no longer be involved in the new 2026 car (the one about the new engine regulations) and Red Bull will not want him to have access to his details if the engineer ends up in another team by then (Ferrari, Aston y Williams are the best placed, although Newey himself has marked his withdrawal as the most plausible option). And, at the same time, he wishes that its creator finishes his work.

So they have marked a date to submit the RB17: it will be in the Goodwood Festival of Speed…2024. The great Sussex motor event will thus have a highlight world class: the first time we will see the design of the English hypercar.

In just a few months the RB17 will no longer be a drawing.

Ahead of schedulesince the deadlines that Newey himself set in His first words about the car spoke of 2025 as the first staging. Perhaps the turn in the future of the engineer has been brewing for longer and in recent months there have been accelerated deadlines…
