ADRIAN NEWEY, one of the most celebrated designers in Formula One history, will leave Red Bull next year.

Red Bull confirmed yesterday that the 65-year-old Briton, considered to be the mastermind behind the team’s unprecedented dominance of the sport, is set to end his two-decade stay in the “first quarter of 2025.”

The news is set to spark a bidding war for Newey’s services, with Ferrari — soon to be joined by Lewis Hamilton — in pole position to sign him.
