Adrian Newey has no plans to leave Red Bull yet

Normally, the intensity of rumors about personnel changes at championship teams increases in the second half of the year, closer to the summer holidays, but this season has become a rare exception.

Lewis Hamilton’s upcoming move to Ferrari was announced back in the winter and caused a real sensation, which inevitably provoked a whole wave of different types of rumors.

But there was another important factor: the so-called ‘Horner case’, which created a crisis situation at Red Bull Racing. They started talking about the possible departure of Max Verstappen and a number of leading specialists, including Adrian Newey, who heads the technical department of the champion team.

For example, we wrote that they are trying to attract the most successful racing car designer of the past thirty years to Aston Martin, although every top team naturally dreams of hiring a specialist of this level. However, it seems that the peak of the crisis at Red Bull is already behind us, and although its consequences will be felt for a long time, they should not affect Newey’s immediate life plans.

“I am happy with everything at Red Bull, but we will see in the future,” the Spanish newspaper quotes Marca Newey. – But I usually don’t plan anything too far into the future. I really enjoy my work, it still gives me pleasure. I think as long as this continues and the team loves me, I’ll stay and we’ll see.”

Newey and his engineers are now focusing on upgrading the RB20 chassis, which features a host of new technical solutions that other teams are sure to copy. He is also involved in other projects and tries to manage his working time. However, the story of Lewis Hamilton’s decision to say goodbye to Mercedes and move to Ferrari once again confirms that anything is possible in Formula 1, so we can only follow the developments.
