Newey is set to leave Red Bull after an extremely successful 18-year stint at the team, designing the cars that propelled Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen to multiple world championships.
But amid political unrest at Red Bull, an investigation into Christian Horner that was dismissed and a "whole host of other reasons", Newey has decided to walk away from the Milton Keynes-based team, shifting his focus to completing the RB17 hypercar that will be presented at July's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
