As hypothesis mounts, Crimson Bull claims that it’s unaware that Adrian Newey is to depart the Austrian outfit for an additional staff.
Earlier in the present day, Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport claimed that Newey is to depart the Austrian staff, citing unease with the continuing state of affairs in relation to the accusations of inappropriate behaviour r levelled at Christian Horner.
Over the course of the day the likes of Sky, Motorsport.com and the BBC – citing its personal trusted verification course of in fact – have run the story whereas insisting that sources have confirmed it to be true.
Newey is beneath contract to Crimson Bull till 2025 and regardless of the rights and wrongs of the continuing saga the staff would little question combat tooth and nail to not let him go wherever apart from his backyard.
Nonetheless, the media claims have led to intense hypothesis on social media the place Newey has been linked to a ‘dream staff’ partnership with Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, whereas Mercedes and Aston Martin have additionally been linked with the design guru.
All Crimson Bull is saying, apart from repeating the truth that Newey is contracted to the staff till “at the very least the tip of 2025”, is that it’s “unaware of him becoming a member of another staff”.
Whereas some on social media are salivating on the prospect, claiming that his departure would mark “the start of the tip for Crimson Bull”, assuming he’s held to his present contract, even when it means gardening go away, he would possible not make any influence on his chosen new staff earlier than 2027, a 12 months into the brand new method.
Then once more, contemplating the ability play occurring behind the scenes, each inside the F1 staff and seemingly inside Crimson Bull itself, the entire thing could possibly be a way of additional destabilising the state of affairs and forcing a conclusion to the saga, and with Max Verstappen’s future titles very a lot aligned with who designs his vehicles, this makes good sense.
