Newey’s future

In a season in which several operations have already taken place in the drivers’ market, it still remains to be clarified what the future of another great protagonist of Formula 1 like Adrian Newey. The British designer, who will officially leave the Red Bull in the first quarter of 2025, seems destined to land in Ferrari after the interruption of his relationship with the Milton Keynes house, but the actual agreement with the Maranello house has never been made official, and the Red fans are still waiting today.

Thanks to Jordan

While waiting to understand what the new chapter in the career of the now former Red Bull Technical Director will be, it is worth pointing out that the latter’s decision to leave the Anglo-Austrian team came about following tensions that arose within the team , but also thanks to some advice offered by Eddie Jordan, a friend of the British engineer. The latter, in his farewell statement, had in fact thanked the Irish entrepreneur. who never revealed what his suggestions were.

Horner’s reaction

Jordan, founder of the eponymous F1 team in the 1990s and 2000s, then helped Newey in negotiations to terminate his contract with Red Bull. A support that the team principal didn’t like at all Christian Horneras Jordan revealed on the podcast Formula for Success: “Do you know what he called me when he found this? – he asked co-host David Coulthard in a joking tone – first of all, his jaw was close to the ground, and it’s a pretty big jaw, but he called out to me, ‘Ah, Eddie, you’re a fucking silent killer‘“.
