Red Bull confirmed on Wednesday that celebrated chief technical officer Adrian Newey will leave the Formula One team in early 2025 after 19 years.
It was widely reported last week that the 65-year-old, regarded as the greatest designer in the sport’s history, was set to quit following a controversy involving allegations about team principal Christian Horner.
The British-based Red Bull team have won six constructors’ titles and seven drivers’ titles, split between Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, with Newey-designed cars to date.
They are on course to do the double again in 2024, with Dutch driver Verstappen the dominant force in the sport. Ferrari, soon to be joined by Lewis Hamilton, appear to be in pole position to sign up Newey.
The British designer, a chief architect of Red Bull’s dominance, is set to end his stay in the “first quarter” of next year, according to a statement from the team.
