On Wednesday, it was announced that design guru Newey would leave Red Bull after a 19-year stint, during which he helped the team win seven drivers' and six constructors' championships with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen as its star drivers.
It is understood Newey decided to leave Red Bull after becoming disillusioned with the outfit's internal politics, which has devolved into a battle for control between the Thai side of the business backing team boss Christian Horner and the Austrian side aligned with Helmut Marko and the Verstappen family.
