In the midst of Red Bull Racing's struggles with the RB20's handling, Max Verstappen addresses questions about the impact of Adrian Newey's exit.
Newey, celebrated for his pivotal role in Red Bull's engineering triumphs, has left a void that coincides with a noticeable dip in the team's performance.
Since Verstappen's last triumph at the Spanish Grand Prix in June, there have been visible struggles with the RB20's handling, sparking debates about the impact of Newey's exit. The Dutch driver, however, refutes direct connections between these departures and the on-track difficulties. The three-time champion commented to the media ahead of the Italian Grand Prix weekend, as"Normally not. Since that it was announced that he was leaving, it's been more difficult.
Verstappen shared that while his interactions with Newey have become less frequent, their rapport remains unbroken. "Well, I mean the last few weeks not so much, but yeah, of course he has moved office as well at the factory, but whenever I do see him, we have a good relationship so that's never been a problem."
In terms of dealing with the RB20's technical snags, Verstappen clarified that he refrains from consulting Newey, respecting the boundaries of his former role.2024 F1 Drivers' Championship: Current Standings4.
