Adrian Newey's departure from Red Bull might not have been expected by Ford, but the automotive giant insists it changes nothing...
With Red Bull losing Adrian Newey by the middle of next year, future engine partner Ford has shared its thoughts on his departure.
The off-track dramas played a part in the acceleration of Adrian Newey’s plans for the future, with the chief technical officer choosing to hand in his notice at Red Bull.designs over the years, Newey’s departure will mark a big loss for the squad – particularly ahead of the major regulation change for 2026.
“We have huge respect for Adrian in terms of his career and all the things that he has done for many different teams in F1, especially the last 19 years at Red Bull,” Rushbrook said. Speaking in his only on-record interview since the departure confirmation, Newey told Sky F1 that he’d been pondering an exit for some time – pointing back at the 2021 season as being particularly difficult.
Some speculation had suggested Newey’s departure was hastened by a falling out with Horner, although both parties expressed their admiration for each other and the extent of their relationship in public statements since.“We are friends as well as work colleagues and he’s done a huge amount for this team.
