Adrian Newey’s exit from Red Bull is report🦂e🧸dly gathering pace.

The car design lꦚegend has “informally communicated” his wish to quit to his colleagues, report.

“He has decided that he does want to leave the 🥀team,” their rep🌄ort stated.

“Sky ♔Sports News understands from senior figures within the sport that🍌 Newey has informally communicated to senior colleagues his wish to cut his near two-decade ties to the team.”

The shock news emerged late on Thursday that one ꦕof the brains behind Red Bull’s F1 dominance wanted out.

The team responded with a statement: "Adrian is contracted until at l𒀰east the end of 2025 and we are unaware of⛎ him joining any other team."

But it was widely reported, including by the BBC, that it waꦉs Newey’s inten♛tion to quit Red Bull.

“M💮ultiple senior figures that I’ve spoken to have expressed that there is discontent from Newey,” Sky’s Craig Slater reported.

Newey’s exit will have Feꦛrrari, Aston Martin and Mercedes on high-🍌alert.

Red Bull’s chief technical off🐠icer is widely considered the greatest-ever F1 car deཧsigner.

He is credited with a huge role in the four consecutive drivers’ ch𒐪ampionships won by Sebastian Vettel.

And Newey’s fingerprints are all over this year’s RB20 which Max Verstap✃pen is devastatingly domi♒nating the sport with.

Verstappen is also set for a fourth F1 title in a ro🍌w in cars created🔯 by Newey.

But, after months of off-track turmoil surrounding the Ch𒁏ristian Horneওr controversy, it seems that Red Bull will now lose one of their key men.
