According to the latest rumors from Germany, negotiations between Adrian Newey and Ferrari are at an advanced stage.
Meanwhile, in Red Bull, the power struggle between the Thai ownership and the Austrian one is stronger than ever. The Christian Horner case risks turning into a veritable exodus, with some of the key figures who have made the six-time World Championship team great over the years possibly packing their bags to strengthen the ranks of competitors.
In addition to rumors about Max Verstappen possibly moving to Mercedes, the future of Adrian Newey is also a hot topic in Milton Keynes, with the renowned designer long linked to what would be a sensational move to Ferrari.
Despite his absence from Melbourne and despite rumors in recent days suggesting that Adrian Newey was being sidelined within the Formula 1 division due to budget cap-related reasons (especially looking ahead to 2026), the future of the British designer did not seem in question, especially considering his contract extension last May.
However, the latest revelation reported by BILD a few minutes ago contradicts the aforementioned, with negotiations between Newey and Ferrari “seemingly at an advanced stage.”
Despite his age and the difficulty of relocating his entire family from Italy to England, the British engineer, who can boast an impressive record of 25 overall titles won, has never hidden his desire to work with Lewis Hamilton and for the Prancing Horse.
The double dream could suddenly become reality in 2025 if he indeed decides to leave Milton Keynes for Maranello. Thus, the words spoken by Christian Horner a few weeks ago could become extremely relevant, with the Briton stating, “You can’t force someone to be somewhere just because there’s a piece of paper. If someone doesn’t want to work for this team, then we won’t force anyone to work here against their will.”
The Red Bull team principal seems convinced that they can continue to win even without two major figures like Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey, with both of them, in the last hours, also reportedly catching the attention of Aston Martin in an attempt to form a super team.
