F1 design geniu💧s Adrian Newey has revealed his decision tꦬo leave Red Bull last year stemmed from being “honest with myself”.

Newey made 🌊the shock decision to bow ou🎶t of Red Bull last year.

The 66-year-old had been part of Red Bull since 2006 a♒🍨s their chief technical officer.

Newey was instrumental in Red Bull’s dominance between 2010 and 2013 with168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Sebastian Vettel and then more recently with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

While the exact reasons behind Newey’s departure are unclear, the off-track turmoil surrounding Red Buওll likely played a role.

C💦hri𝄹stian Horner was under investigation in early 2024 for alleged inappropriate behaviour.

This led to intense spe♐culation about Verstappen’s future, which linked him with a 📖move to Mercedes.

, Newey discussed his decision to leave Red Bull but not retire from F1.

“Well I think that goes back slightly. If you said to me 12 months ago that I would be leavi💞ng Red Bull and then now ultimately starting again, I’d have said no, you’re crazy,” Newey said.

“But for various reasons I felt I wouldn’t be true to myself if I stayed at Red Bull. The first difficult decision was exactlythat - do I stay or nꦚot at Red Bull? We came to the conclusion and being honest with myself I couldn’t.

“Having made that decision it was then what to do next? With my wife Mandy, we discussed various things. I am in the lucky 🥀position where I don’t need to work financially.

“It could have been to simply retire and sit on the beach or it could be to🐲 do somethin🎃g completely different - America’s Cup or maybe work for one of the OEMs in road cars or stay in racing.

“If I 🤡was going to stay in♎ racing then I might as well stay in F1, assuming people wanted me.”
