Speaking to Sky Sports in the Miami Grand Prix paddock, Adrian Newey shed more light on his decision to walk away from Red Bull and hinted he will take a break from F1
Adrian Newey hinted infighting at Red Bull was indeed a contributing factor to his decision to leave the team.
The 65-year-old shocked the Formula 1 world this week with official confirmation that he is leaving the team he has served since 2006. It comes after months of unrest behind the scenes at Red Bull with team principal Christian Horner in the thick of it.
In Miami on Friday, Horner had insisted that Newey’s decision to leave was “absolutely not” because of the infighting. “This has been coming for some time,” the 50-year-old asserted.
There was discussion pretty much 12 months ago that it might have been the time for Adrian to look at stepping back, so I know it’s been on his mind for some time. It’s something we’ve had to plan for.”Catch all the action from Formula One on Sky Sports and get exclusive access to races, qualifying and much more for every Grand Prix.
