Adrian Newey's genius in crafting cars tailored to the ground effect regulations that debuted in 2022 has been pivotal to Red Bull's triumphs. His ingenuity in design has been the cornerstone of Red Bull's dominance since then, a legacy that endures unchallenged to this day.

In the previous season, the RB19 F1 car propelled the team to a remarkable victory in 21 out of 22 Grands Prix, with three-time world champion Max Verstappen clinching 19 of those wins. In the current season, Verstappen's dominance in the RB20 persists as he leads the Drivers' Standings with three wins out of four races completed so far.

Before joining Red Bull in 2006, Newey had already established himself as a legend in Formula 1, enjoying successful spells with Williams and McLaren, where he won championships alongside iconic drivers like Alain Prost and Mika Hakkinen. However, amidst the internal upheaval within the Red Bull team this year, speculations emerged suggesting that Newey might consider departing from the outfit.

In an exclusive interview with RacingNews365.com, Newey expressed his continued interest in remaining involved in Formula 1, although he admitted that he hasn't extensively contemplated his immediate future. There have been whispers suggesting his potential move to Ferrari in 2025, where he could collaborate with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, as well as a potential offer from Aston Martin, but Newey has not confirmed any concrete plans regarding this speculation. He said:

“I enjoy [it].

“Ever since I was 10 or so, certainly by 12, I wanted to be a designer - I don’t think I knew the word ‘engineer’ - in motor racing, and ideally, Formula 1.

“That's what I [put] all my teenage years towards. I managed to get that first job in motor racing when I graduated.

“I’ve hugely enjoyed it, and I continue to enjoy it.

“So I think as long as I continue to enjoy it and the team wants me then I’ll continue to do it for the moment and then we'll have to see in the future.

“I don't tend to plan too far forward.”
