Today Red Bull is at the highest position in Formula One. They have won two of the three races with a one-two victory. However, one question, why is Red Bull so extraordinary? Indeed, because it has wonderful people. The team has Adrian Newey! He is the man behind the fastest-ever car. Newey developed the concept of RB19 and RB18, which is so complicated that no one can even copy them entirely. They have Max Verstappen and Christian Horner. And the future of the team is in their hands. Meanwhile, what’s the best part coming from Red Bull is that team is already into securing their future. The team is preparing for the renewal of the contract with Adrian Newey. Also, Max Verstappen’s current contract is in discussions.
According to the principal of Red Bull, Christian Horner, the team will not lose their encyclopedia man, the chief technical officer, Adrian Newey, so early. He will be with Red Bull “for many more years.” In March, fans were quite upset with the fact that Newey’s contract was about to end soon, and then Red Bull will lose one of the top minds of F1. But Horner soon emerged to deny any claim that suggests Adrain’s exit.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Christian Horner showed how impressed he is with the team’s technical officer and how he must not leave Red Bull yet. “His heart is still in F1, and the commitment towards Red Bull” is not something that can end so soon. And about the contracts, Horner said, “We don’t talk about the contracts or its longevity. We know he will be with us for many years to come.” So what about the rumors that suggested Newey is leaving by this? Horner explained, “It is Formula One, and there are always some rumors going on in the paddocks.” So please don’t believe them.
What Did Christian Horner Say About Adrian Newey And Max Verstappen’s Exit From Red Bull?
Meanwhile, Horner demonstrated how Adrian Newey is the most valuable asset for the Red Bull Racing team. “He is such an important and popular part of the team. It is nothing but great to have him with us for as long as possible.” And also, having him involved in the things the team is interested in applying is great.
Now, let’s talk about Max Verstappen, who completes Red Bull and brings wins to the team. Recently, the 25-year-old expressed his desire to quit Formula One after the end of his current contract with Red Bull. However, Christian Horner does not see his star boy leaving the sports too soon. Addressing this matter, Horner claimed, “Indeed, Max is his own man, and he is very strong in his opinions.”
And obviously, Max Verstappen is not going to become a second Fernando Alonso, too. By no means will Max drive at the age of 41 or 42? But Horner can point out only one love and passion in Max, which is Racing. Even if Max does not come to the tracks, he races in the virtual world. His hurt burns for racing. And his love for cars might not let him quit F1 so early.
With two consecutive driver’s championship wins, they have just started gearing for the sixth constructor’s championship win. And, with the fastest car like Red Bull, and a mad driver like Max Verstappen, it is nothing but certain that the team is going to take both championships this year too. The team has secured 123 points so far and is leading in all the standings.
