Red Bull made a historic declaration, confirming the end of the ‘Newey Era.’ Adrian Newey, the aerodynamics expert, has helped RBR dominate the racing circuit for more than two decades. With Newey’s masterstrokes, the team won thirteen world championships. He was the unsung hero for world champions such as Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. A succession of internal feuds and Christian Horner’s scandal compelled Newey to take a risk.
However, the Briton expressed gratefulness for the opportunity to serve as an F1 executive, which had been his childhood dream. He stated that his experience with the Milton Keynes side was fantastic and that now is the time to ‘transfer the baton.’ Since the formal announcement, the speculations have been in high gear, as Newey’s future in F1 remains unknown. Amid all the speculations, an F1 insider claims Newey has signed a deal with Ferrari.

The aerodynamic expert has won championships with Williams, Red Bull, and McLaren. As a result, many fans expected Mercedes to make a play for Newey. The explanation is their ongoing attempt to tackle ‘aerodynamic difficulties.’ Thus, the aerodynamic genius himself was the ideal candidate to assist the Silver Arrows. However, in a stunning disclosure, Toto Wolff has dismissed any talk about Newey’s Mercedes deal. Toto Wolff dismissed Adrian Newey’s Mercedes plan, leaving the aero genius with two alternatives. Since the gardening condition has been waived, Newey is prepared to begin offering his services next season.

However, in a shocking revelation, an F1 insider claimed a deal had been signed between Adrian Newey and Scuderia Ferrari. A former McLaren pit crew member, Marc Priestley, uploaded a YouTube video after the Monaco GP.

He played a pivotal role in the Gran Turismo program back in 2016, and the team is now benefiting from the fruits of his hard work. Thus, the changing dynamics at the paddock are increasing the excitement.
