Red Bull’💝s confidence despite the departure of Adrian Newey may be misplaced, Anthony Davidson sa𓆉ys.

The chief technic♋al officer of F1’s most dominant team will leave his role at the start of next year.

N𒅌ewey is the best car designer in Formula 1 history and Red Bull’s loss will surely become 💖one of their rivals’ gain.

“The team keep saying that Adrian Newey ‘has been around a long time, he’s now more of ✅a consultant, and we will be okay with his departure’,” Davidson said in Miami on Sky Sports.

“I don’t kn🍬owꦺ… I think they might start missing his input.

“Even if it’s just someone to keep the team, keep the flow going. Like a con⭕ductor does with an orchestra.

“You can have individuals playing brilliantly with different i꧂nstruments but you need someone to bring it all together to make lovely music.

“That’s what I believe Adrian can do inꦏ a team, these days.

“That brain where he can oversee the technical side - the mechanical elements, the suspension, the🎐 geometry - and the downforce, th𝓰e aero, as well.

“He can bring those de💧partments together, get them in line.

“I think they might miss him, moving forwards.”

Ferrari are reportedly best-placed to sജwoop forౠ Newey’s services.

His ex🏅it will come at a precarious time because of the new F1 regul🐟ations.

Newey is🐬 free to join a rival team next year, giving him time t🌳o oversee plans for 2026 when the new hybrid rules come into effect.

Those rules could shake up F1 and create a new pecking order, ir♛respective of where Newey lands.

But having the sport’s most respected brain in charge of steering the new direction will be a major boost to any team th♏at recruits Newey.

He has worked at Red Bull for 19 years and designed the cars which led to Sebastian Vettel’s four-year champ🔜ionship-winning run.

Newey has also created the machinery dri🦄ven by Max Verstappen, including this season’s peerless RB20.
