His joining Aston Martin is considered a vital strategic move toward the target of getting world championships within several coming years.

Adrian Newey’s Legacy at Red Bull

Since joining Red Bull, Newey has captured four successive world champion titles for his driver Sebastian Vettel between 2010 and 2013.

Mercedes took over this mantle in mid-2010 to dominate till the 2021 season when Red Bull came back into the fray with Newey’s designs that helped them win the title with Max Verstappen as drivers’ champion.

However, the season and year 2023 signified a change of fortunes for Red Bull, in a very dramatic manner. Even though Verstappen is leading the driver’s championship, the team has not been so dominant, especially in the recent races.

Red Bull’s team principal Christian Horner has been very keen on refuting these allegations. “Adrian’s exit is not accidental with the latest weak performance,” Horner said. “We are still a very solid group, and our goals are still to win championships. ”
