MILTON KEYNES, England (AP) — Adrian Newey, the designer who was a pivotal figure in Red Bull’s dominance of Formula One, will step down early next year, the team said Wednesday.
The 65-year-old Newey will end his near two-decade career with Red Bull in the “first quarter of 2025.”
“For almost two decades it has been my great honor to have played a key role in Red Bull Racing’s progress from upstart newcomer to multiple title-winning team,” he said. “However, I feel now is an opportune moment to hand that baton over to others and to seek new challenges for myself.”
Newey joined Red Bull in 2006 and helped the team win seven drivers’ titles — including the last three seasons for defending champion Max Verstappen — and six constructors’ titles.
Red Bull said its chief technical officer would be stepping back from F1 design and focus on its first hypercar, the RB17.
