Earlier this week Red Bull announced Newey will leave the Milton Keynes-based squad after a nearly two-decade stint, playing an important role in designing the cars that propelled Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen to multiple world championships.
But amid the inner politics that have divided Red Bull at the start of this year, Newey felt the time was right to quit the squad. While he will continue working on his RB17 hypercar, he will step away from F1 involvement and will be free to join other teams from March 2025.
