Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull was officially confirmed on Wednesday in a major blow to the Formula One world champions.

The team confirmed their chief technical officer will leave the Red Bull group in the first quarter of 2025.

Newey has spent nearly two decades with the team and is viewed as the mastermind behind the cars that have taken them to seven drivers’ titles in two stints, through Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

Red Bull confirmed that Newey will be stepping back from his F1 duties, with his final months at the group set to focus on the development and delivery of Red Bull’s first hypercar.

The RB17 was officially announced 2022, with Newey and Red Bull Advanced Technologies behind the creation of the car.

The group said two seat hypercar will deliver the ‘ultimate on-track driving experience’.

When announcing the development of the car, Red Bull said it will be powered by a hybrid engine developing over 1,100bhp and will be designed around a carbon composite tub.

The RB17, which takes its name from cars produced by Red Bull for Formula One, is claimed will have the ‘most advanced ground effect package available in a series production car.’

The development of the hypercar, of which only 50 will be made, is viewed as a passion of Newey’s with the designer spearheading the project.

‘The RB17 distills everything we know about creating championship-winning Formula One cars into a package that delivers extreme levels of performance in a two-seat track car,’ he said in February.

‘Driven by our passion for performance at every level, the RB17 pushes design and technical boundaries far beyond what has been previously available to enthusiasts and collectors.’

Newey is set to fully focus on the development of the car, which is due to go into production in 2025, in his final months with the team.

He is understood to be wanted by Ferrari to act as their ‘super consultant’. He currently earns £15million a year at Red Bull and could double his salary with the potential switch.

A move to Italy would bring F1’s most successful designer into partnership with Lewis Hamilton, who is joining the Scuderia next year.

Newey will continue to attend races this season, including in Miami this weekend.

His departure is a blow to the world champion team and embattled boss Christian Horner, the team principal who brought Newey from McLaren to Red Bull nearly 20 years ago.

Red Bull insist Newey’s departure is not directly linked to the allegations that have engulfed the team since news of allegations of coercive behaviour were made against Horner in February, but driven by growing resentment at how he has been less than fully credited for the team’s success.

Twelve members of US Congress penned a letter to Formula 1’s parent company, Liberty Media, demanding answers about Andretti Global’s rejected bid to join the grid. 

The bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by Rep. John James, claimed the mass media conglomerate was engaging in ‘cartel-like behavior’ by preventing the Indiana-based team from entering the sport.

‘[We have] concerns with the apparent anti-competitive actions that could prevent two American companies, Andretti Global and General Motors (GM), from producing and competing in Formula 1,’ the letter read.

They also noted that the decision to bar Andretti, along with its partners GM and Cadillac, could ‘violate American anti-trust laws.’

F1’s governing body, the FIA, accepted Andretti’s entry last year, agreeing that they had met the necessary criteria.

Former F1 world champion Mario Andretti said his team is ready to join the grid as of 2025

However, the sport’s commercial arm, Formula One Management, denied the team’s bid after discussing the matter with the 10 teams currently on the grid, claiming it would not be competitive by 2025 or 2026.

In a press conference held outside the US Capitol Wednesday, former F1 world champion, Mario Andretti said his team has ‘all the passion and resolve necessary’ to join the grid.

‘We’re ready with everything that’s needed. Give us a green light and let us do our thing,’ the 84-year-old motorsport legend said.

‘Our team, Andretti Global, is part of every major racing discipline in the world. Formula 1 is the one that’s left. And we want to be part of that.’

James, who also appeared at the press conference, suggested Liberty Media could be ‘kicking the can down the road’ as a ‘cash grab’ to extract more money from Andretti should their bid be accepted in 2028, when F1 said it would reconsider the bid.

‘Give us a green light and let us do our thing,’ the motorsport legend said in a press conference

‘The commitment has been shown by Andretti-Cadillac, I think, to the tune of millions of dollars a month in preparing for the standards of complying with everything,’ the Michigan representative said.

‘We hope that we can resolve this to do business together for our mutual benefit. But if not, we will have our questions answered,’ he went on.

‘Because we have an obligation to protect the American consumer, to protect American companies, and that is our first allegiance. And those who are seeking to take advantage will be held accountable.’

F1 will return to the US this weekend for the Miami Grand Prix, held at Hard Rock Stadium.

Max Verstappen was recently seen having a heartwarming moment with his partner Kelly Pique and her daughter Penelope during the 2023–24 winter break. The reigning world champion obliterated the entire F1 field in 2023, winning 19 out of 22 races. After this, he is currently enjoying his time away from F1 and getting some well-deserved rest with his loved ones.

Kelly Piquet posted a compilation video on her official Instagram account, which showcased how she, Verstappen, Penelope, and other members of their inner circle went skiing during the winter break. In this video, there was an adorable clip of Penelope leaning on her mother, Kelly Piquet, while the latter leaned in on the Red Bull driver. All three were smiling happily in the clip, and it was an adorable moment between the three.

“Life is about the memories you make,” was the caption of the Instagram post.

As soon as the video was posted by Kelly Piquet, it went viral. Many took screenshots of the moment and posted them on social media platform X.

A few people discussed how Max Verstappen is with Daniil Kvyat’s former partner and daughter. Before dating Verstappen, Kelly Piquet was with former Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat, with whom she had Penelope in July 2019.

On the other hand, most F1 fans wrote heartwarming words for the close bond Verstappen, Piquet and Penelope shared in the clip.

Here are some of the reactions:

Max Verstappen on his relationship with his partner’s daughter, Penelope

Since Max Verstappen is currently with Kelly Piquet, he frequently spends time with her daughter Penelope. A few years after her birth, her parents separated, and her mother began a relationship with Verstappen.

Speaking about his relationship with Penelope last year, he clarified that he is not the father figure in her life and emphasized how important it is for her to have a good relationship with her real father, Daniil Kvyat. Speaking to Time, he said:

“I’m not the father, that’s not the aim,” he said. “It’s always very important that she has a good relationship with her own father, which she has. But I see her every day when I’m at home. We get on very well. She’s very cute.”

The Red Bull star has been seen in several pictures with Penelope. The little one has even appeared in some of Verstappen’s livestreams when he was racing with Redline.

Lewis Hamilton said 12th place on the grid accurately reflected Mercedes’ performance in Miami, where they were seven-tenths of a second behind the pace.

He and teammate George Russell both finished outside the top ten in qualifying for tomorrow’s sprint race. As has happened multiple times this year, Hamilton stated that the car felt better before they began attempting to alter it.

“The car felt really good during [first practice],” he told the official F1 station. “And then in [sprint race qualifying], it didn’t feel horrible, but we were seven-tenths off. That’s merely, I believe, the speed of our vehicle.”

Hamilton has made some radical adjustments to his car in previous races that haven’t always succeeded, but he claims that isn’t the case this weekend.

“This weekend we’ve just been [doing] no more experiments, just trying to make the car work,” he went on to say. “So I feel like we extracted everything from the car and that’s just our pace, we just have to accept it for the moment that we’re seven-tenths off.”

Mercedes introduced an upgrade package for their vehicle this weekend. However, with points available only to the top eight in tomorrow’s race, Hamilton was pessimistic about his chances of scoring.

“The sprint race is going to be tough,” he told reporters. “We’re in 12th place, so I’m not expecting much from there.

“It is not an easy circuit to overtake or follow. So [I’ll] attempt to get into the points somehow, if we can.”

Russell stated that the W15 felt better on soft tyres earlier in the day, but battled for pace on the medium compounds used in the first two phases of qualifying.

“During practice, the soft tyre felt great on our car. The pace was good; it was P4. On the medium, we couldn’t find the sweet spot, and I ended up on the wrong side of it.

“It was tight out there. We shouldn’t have been so close to the cutoff. We need to work overnight and improve for the main qualifier.”

Lewis Hamilton qualified just 12th for the sprint race at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, which only served to further highlight his problematic season in Miami.

Max Verstappen’s Red Bull took the lead, and Hamilton, who hasn’t been in the top six this season, scraped the wall before being eliminated in the second round.

George Russell, Hamilton’s teammate, finished 11th on another dismal afternoon for Mercedes in the Sunshine State and was unable to advance to the final phase.

Hamilton declared over the radio, “I have got nothing,” after his early withdrawal from qualifying, which selects the starting grid for Saturday’s 19-lap race.

The seven-time world champion then left his Mercedes with a disappointed shake of his head.

The Silver Arrows have expedited the installation of an updated floor that was initially scheduled for the upcoming round in Imola in two weeks by bringing a redesigned machine to Florida.

However, the new package was unable to turn around the performance of a squad that was struggling to finish in fourth place among constructors.

Seeing both drivers crash out of Q2, team principal Toto Wolff buried his face in his hands.

After designer Adrian Newey confirmed he is leaving Red Bull at the end of the year, Verstappen pushed the team’s off-track issues aside to take the lead, and the Dutchman is on track to waltz to his fourth world championship in as many years.

“Lol,” he said over the radio after edging out Leclerc by 0.108 seconds. “What happened to the others? This was terrible but I will take it.”

For Ferrari, Daniel Ricciardo qualified fourth, Sergio Perez third, and Charles Leclerc second.

Nonetheless, Verstappen was taken aback that he had defeated his competitors despite appearing to be having trouble controlling his all-conquering Red Bull machine.

Adrian Newey on Friday night admitted he is flattered that Lewis Hamilton is trying to woo him to Ferrari.

Hamilton is leaving Mercedes for the Scuderia next season and Newey, Formula One’s leading designer, is on the market after announcing this week that he will be leaving Red Bull before his contract was due to expire.

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked if he would welcome the chance to work with Newey, 65. ‘Very much,’ he replied. ‘He’s top of my wish list.’

Newey, speaking for the first time since news of his impending departure was made public, responded by saying: ‘It was very kind of Lewis to say that, but at the moment I’m just taking a bit of a break and we’ll see what happens next.’

Mail Sport understands Ferrari have definitely spoken to Newey about moving there, but have yet to close the deal.

Newey’s exit is a further bump for Red Bull following the scandal that engulfed team principal Christian Horner over allegedly sending coercive texts to a female colleague. He was cleared in an internal investigation, a verdict that is now subject to an ongoing appeal.

‘I’ve been thinking about this a little while now – over the winter and then as events unfolded this year,’ explained Newey, who earns £15million.

‘I’m in the very lucky position where I don’t need to work to live. I work because I enjoy it and felt now was a good time to step back and take stock of life. Maybe at some point, I’ll be standing in the shower and say, “Right, this is going to be the next adventure.”

‘Formula One’s all consuming. I’ve been at it for a long time now. There comes a point, as Forrest Gump said, “I’m feeling a little bit tired.”

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen, who drives Newey’s rocket ship, handed Red Bull a boost by insisting he couldn’t be lured away to Mercedes even for £150m a year.

The reigning world champion put himself beyond price as rumours swirl that he is disgruntled by recent shenanigans.

‘My future is within Red Bull at the moment,’ he said.

Hamilton was only 12th-best in qualifying for the sprint, with team-mate George Russell 11th

‘Even if there was an offer of 150million, money is not going to be the differentiator. I am happy with what I am earning already. If I knew I was driving for fifth or sixth, I’d get quite grumpy.

‘Everyone knows it is about performance and Toto (Wolff, the Mercedes team principal) knows that.’

Verstappen, 26, took pole for Saturday’s sprint race despite a less than perfect lap. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc starts second and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez third.

Hamilton was only 12th best, team-mate George Russell 11th. So much for Mercedes’ upgrades! Again.

He recently won the Eifel Grand Prix to match Michael Schumacher’s tally of 91 victories.

And Lewis Hamilton appeared to be taking a break from the racing track as he reached the summit during a hike on Tuesday.

It comes after Lewis was in Germany for the Eifel Grand Prix, held at the iconic Nürburgring motorsports complex.

Officially, the German Grand Prix is on hiatus this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, with the Eifel Grand Prix – named after a nearby mountain range – replacing it.

The legendary driver Michael Schumacher, 51, is confined to barracks as he wages a glacial recovery following the horrific skiing accident that robbed him of his vitality nearly seven years ago.

It was left to Michael’s 21-year-old son Mick, an aspiring Formula One driver and leader of the F2 standings, to perform the rituals on behalf of a private, tight family, to hand one of his father’s old helmets to Lewis like a baton.

‘Getting to Formula One was the first step of the dream, and then it was emulating Ayrton (Senna),’ said Lewis.

‘But Michael was just so far ahead, it was beyond my wildest dreams that I could be here today having equalled this record.’
