It is important to highlight that Newey has been associated with Red Bull for over a decade. His departure surprised many in the Formula 1 community, given the immense success he and the team have enjoyed together.
Although Perez acknowledges the collaborative success of the team, he also respects Newey’s decision to leave the reigning champions. Perez wishes the best for the British designer in his future endeavors.
Following the announcement, Newey has shifted his focus to the Red Bull Hypercar project.
The entire Red Bull team has immense admiration for Adrian Newey and his contributions over the past twenty years. No other Formula 1 car designer possesses the level of expertise and influence that Newey does. Since news of his departure was announced, teams like Ferrari have expressed interest in securing his services for the coming years.
