Three-time F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen thinks it’s unlikely Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull has imp🌞acted the team’s o﷽n-track performance in 2024.

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull announced Neweyꦕ will officially leave the team in the first quarter of 2025.

Coincidentally since then, Red Bull h🥀ave been caught in the development race, with their spot at the top of the constructors’ championship under threat.

McLaren sit 30 points behind Red Bull with nine rounds to go - and have momentum on♈ their side.

Red Bull have struggled with t⛄heir upgrades in 2024, reverting back to an older specification of floor to find answers at the last race at Zandvoort.

Speaking to media ♕at the Italian Grand Prix, where are present, Verstappen was asked if Red Bull꧟’s poor form is linked to Newey’s departure.

He replied: “Normally not. It’s just, since it was announced that he was leaving, it’s been more difficult. But it shouldn’t matter if someone is, let’s say, leaving on the spot, that immediately the performance dro🅰ps.

“Because the car h🌟as always been the same. So, yeah, normally not.”

Verstappen has revealed that there’s not been much contact with Newey in “the last ꦍfew weeks” after his office in the Red Bull factory was moved.

“I mean, the last few weeks, 🦩not so much,” he added.🐎 “Of course, he has moved office as well, at the factory.

“But wꦯhenever I do see him - I mean, we have a good relationship, that's never been a problem.”

Verstappen also admitted it꧑ would be “unfair” to ask him about the car given his change in position with the team ahead of h🐬is departure next year.

“No. And I think it would also be a bit unfair, to do that,” he explai🍨ned. 

Verstappen is 70 points ahead of Lando Norris in the drivers’ ch𝔉ampionship.

Despite finishing over 20 seconds behind the McLaren driver, Red Bull are expected to fare better at Monza this weekend.𝓰
