Three-time F1 world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen t🐻hinks it’s unlikely Adrian Newey’s departure frﷺom Red Bull has impacted the team’s on-track performance in 2024.

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull♓ announced Newey will officially leave꧃ the team in the first quarter of 2025.

McLaren🔯 sit 30 points behind Red Bull with nine rounds to go -𒁏 and have momentum on their side.

Red Bull have struggled with their upgrades in 2024, reverting back to an older specificatio🔯n of floor to find answers at the last race at Zandvoort.

Speaking to media at the Italian Grand Prix, where🧜 are present, Verstappen was asked if Red Bull’s poor form is linked to Newey’s departure.

He replied: “Normally not. It’s just, since it was announced that he was leaving, i💃t’s been more difficult. But it shouldn’t matter if someone is, let’s say, leaving on the spot꧅, that immediately the performance drops.

“Because the car has always been the sameও. So, y👍eah, normally not.”

Verstappen has revealed that there’s not been much contact with Newey in “the last few weeks” after his office in t🐻he Red Bull factory was moved.

“I mean, the last few weeks, not so much,” he added. “Of course, he has moved offi𓃲ce as well, at the f🃏actory.

“But whenever I do see him - ꦇI mean, we have a good relationship, that's never been a problem.”

Verstappen also admitted it would be “unfair” to ask him about the ca🌺r given his 𝄹change in position with the team ahead of his departure next year.

“No.🧸 And I think it would also be a bit unfair, to do that,” he explained.&nb🔥sp;

Verstappen is 70 points ahead of Lando Norris in the drivers’ c💙hampionship.

Despite finishing over ܫ20 seconds behind the McLaren driver, Red Bull are 🐻expected to fare better at Monza this weekend.
