Adrian Newey’s lawyers are rep💦ortedly negotiating his departure from Red Bull😼.

T🐲he terms of his exit would permit a quicker than expected return if he takes a job with a rival F1 team, report꧟s.

Newey’s lawyers are trying to negotiate a deal with Red Bull which would allow him to start work elsewhere next year, if he so choos💯es.

The split between Red Bull and Newey is expected to be c𝓡onfirmedꦉ before this weekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix.

“We don’t have any comment at this time,🐼” Red Bull said.

Newey’s contract as Red Bull’s chief technical officer runs unt🌊il the end of 2025 but, as is typical with many high-profile individuals within Formula 1, it includes a ‘non-compete clause’.

That clause prohibits New♚ey from joining a rival F🍨1 team for 12 months.

He would, therefore, not be available to the likes of Ferrari, Mercedes or Aston Martin until the 2027 season which is one year int꧂o the new regula🍌tions.

However, Newey’s lawyers are busy at work negotiating an exit from Red Bull which would allow him to take a new job next year, the BB𒀰C report.

Starting work at another team in 2025 would give Newey time to begin work on 🀅their 2026 car, the first car under the new regulations.

The new engine and chassis rules for 2026 could realign the playing field so whoever recruits Newܫey, the car design genius, has a massive advantage over their rivals.

Aston Martin and Ferrari, in particular, are known admirers but Newey’s next ꦺmove is unclear.

It is unlikel🔥y that Newey’s departure from Red Bull will be confirmed unt🧜il Thursday at the earliest.

Wednesday May 1 is the 30 year anniversary of Ayrton Senna’s death, so the F1 ♚world w🌊ill want to pause to respect his memory.

Senna died after a crash at the F1 San Marino Grand Prix in 1994 in a Williams whic🌄h Newey designed.

Newey has had mas♔sive success at Red Bull, and is behind the machinery which gave four F1 titles to Sebastian Vettel, and the cars which Max Verstappen drove to his three championships in a row. The RB20 this year looks set to deliver a fourth for🧜 Verstappen.

But off-track Newey has reportedly become disillusioned with the chaos surrounding the team, incluꦕding Christian Horner’s controversy.
