Formula 1 design legend Adrian Newey is set to leave Red Bull Racing despite being under contract until the end of the 2025 season, according to reports by a number of reputable F1 publications.
BBC Sport, which says it has “independently verified” the rumors “with high-level sources close to Red Bull and Newey,” cites the sexual harassment allegations against team principal Christian Horner as the reason for Newey’s impending departure.
Given his proven track record, Newey remains highly regarded in the F1 paddock, with Ferrari and Aston Martin said to have sent him offers even before this latest development. While he has yet to release an official statement on his plans, his departure from Red Bull Racing would surely shake up the driver market, especially if defending champ Max Verstappen decided there would be no point in staying after such a major change in the senior management.
