Formula One: Red Bull's legendary engineer Adrian Newey on cusp of joining Ferrari - Reports

Adrian Newey has been linked to multiple teams after announcing his Red Bull departure

Various media outlets confirmed that Adrian Newey -- one of the greatest engineers Formula One has ever seen -- is set to depart from Red Bull at the end of the ongoing season. Notably, he was signed up until at least the end of next year, however, Newey reportedly believes he could negotiate an exit and move towards a new team from the next season. Amid all this, there are speculations that he is close to signing a deal with Ferrari.

Newey -- who has clinched as many as 12 F1 Constructors' and 13 Drivers' Championships -- has had a lot of success for multiple outfits, including McLaren and Williams. He has spent close to two decades designing vehicles for the Max Verstappen-starrer Red Bull.

However, as per reports, 65-year-old Newey is mulling a move amid the chaotic season of the 2024 F1 campaign. The BBC and Germany's Auto Motor und Sport earlier reported that the Briton informed Red Bull of his decision following allegations against team principal Christian Horner ofmisconduct towards a female employee.
