The influence of Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull𒈔 has been debated amid the team’s declining dominance.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen overcame a mid-season slump to wrap up his fourth Formula 1 championship in a row at the F1 Las 𝓰V♐egas Grand Prix.

But that title was at-risk when the RB20’s competitiveness𓆏 fell behind after McLaren introduced a ga꧅me-changing upgrade in Miami.

Jenson ♏Button told Sky Sports that, if Newey was still involved in the day-to-day development at Red Bull, he might have nipped thei♕r decline in the bud.

“Definitely. It’s not all down to Adrian, how they buiඣld these cars,” Button explained.

“But he was very good with the d🎐etail. That’s what they’ve lost with Adrian walking🐷 away.

“He could take a step♕ back and they would do most o👍f the aerodynamics, then he’d pinpoint certain things and say ‘that needs to be slightly better’.

“So they are missing that.”

Legendary car designer Newey announced he would leave Red Bull earlier this season and has since signed for Aston Martin, who h💦e will officially join in March 2025.

Newey and Jonathan Wheatley are two high-profile exits from🍌 a team who have fought among themselves at times this year.

Yet their⭕ star driver Verstappen still did his job on-t😼rack.

“This is more of a normal way of wi🍒🉐nning a championship,” Button said.

“La🌼st year was extreme and will go 💝down in history.

“In Bahrai﷽n [earlier this year] they were half-a-second quicker than everyone and we thought it’d be a walk in the park. It was, for a ജfew races.

“Then off-💯track there was a lot❀ for us to talk about, and a fractured team.

“Newey leaving i🧜s a big deal. Whether it affects this year? I don’t think so. But itꦕ was spiralling.

“Watching Max on-track he seemed calm to get as many points as possible in every race. He didn’t get stresse💟d by not having the fastest car. He got it into his head that he won’t win another race, ‘just do the best I can’.”
