Former Haas team boss Günther Steiner has responded to Adrian Newey’s decision to leave Red Bull Racing. Steiner saw many similarities in Newey’s action with Lewis Hamilton, who also unexpectedly decided to leave Mercedes for Ferrari.
“Newey’s decision is somewhat similar to Lewis’s, which surprises me, but am I shocked? No,” Racingnews365 quotes Günter Steiner. – Adrian has worked with Red Bull for many years and what happened at the beginning of this year [скандал с участием Кристиана Хорнера] is just one of the factors. I don’t know all the details, but maybe there were already disagreements within the team.
Newey might then decide, “I want to try something new before I retire.” After all, it is still in very good condition.
At the moment I think he will go to Ferrari, but I don’t know in what capacity. I don’t know if Adrian wants to work all year round or if he just comes up with the concept of the car, but Frederic Vasseur will do everything he can to get him to join the team. Plus, he can work with Lewis, which is great for both of them.
I am surprised that Adrian was given the opportunity to work for another team next year immediately after leaving Red Bull. Red Bull will have a good car in 2025 with or without Adrian, but everyone is waiting for 2026.
In Formula 1, everything is always clear in the short term, but no one can predict the balance of power in the medium and long term in two or three years.”
