Adrian Newey very close to the'farewell to Red Bull

Fans and insiders of Formula 1 are following with trepidation the developments of the last hours at Red Bull: Adrian Newey, the engineering genius among the main factors of the successes of recent years of the Anglo-Austrian house, would be very close to announcing the farewell and plan a future that several clues want in Ferrari, thoughé certain conditions must be met.

The most important è is that of the so-called "gardening", that is, the mandatory shutdown period of certain categories of technicians (including, precisely, that of engineers) during which they must comply with secrecy and non-competition agreements and thus cannot immediately transfer their skills to another team.

According to reports in the German-language portal 'F1 Insider', the breakthrough è is close: Newey is reportedly trying to get out of his contract with Red Bull a year before it expires in 2025, so that he can return to design, after a one-year stop, for the 2026 season. An important year, because it will be the year of the highly anticipated change of technical regulations in F1.

Thus, the clues lead to speculate, just for 2026, a situation in Ferrari with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton at the wheel for the second year in a row, Frederic Vasseur still firmly at the pit wall and Adrian Newey heading the technical project of the car that will be. One can only wait, now, for the next formalizations.
