Red Bull chief shares ‘what’s outstanding’ about Adrian Newey

Alain Prost backs Max Verstappen in the Lando Norris clash: “Penalties should not be handed out based on reputation, but on facts”

Guenther Steiner names 4 drivers including Kevin Magnussen who could face the axe in order for their F1 teams to succeed

While the approach from Aston Martin has been widely reported of after his infamous factory visit last month, the reports of Newey going back to McLaren have caught several people unaware. He had previously worked with the Woking-based outfit from 1997-2005 and left them to join Red Bull.

One of the reasons for Aston Martin and McLaren emerging as front runners to sign Adrian Newey has been the latter’s wish to not move countries to Italy and stay in the UK. However, none of the parties involved have made any official confirmation on their approach to Newey or vice versa.

F1 pundit provides an update on Adrian Newey’s future in the sport

Sky Sports F1 pundit Ted Kravitz stated that it was clear that Adrian Newey won’t be retiring from the sport anytime soon given his frequent visits to the Red bull paddock, with him still designing for the team and taking notes from a prospective rival’s cars.

After the British GP, Kravitz said:

“I’ve got to tell you about Adrian Newey, who amazingly is still coming to races, looking at the car that he’s not in charge of anymore with his notebook and making notes about the Red Bull to take to wherever he’s going. So clearly, whoever said that they think Adrian Newey is going to retire, are wrong.”

“So, wherever he goes, whether it’s Aston Martin or Ferrari or less likely now, I think, Williams, or Mercedes or McLaren – he’s clearly still turning up in Red Bull gear preparing for his future job. I know he’s not allowed in Red Bull meetings anymore but I did think it was quite interesting that he is still around.”

Newey had revealed ahead of the British GP that he might make a decision regarding his future during the autumn or winter.
