Internet in shock door Newey-verhaal: ‘Verstappen zal ook vertrekken’
Er is nog niks bevestigd, maar toch ging er donderdag een schokgolf door de Formule 1-wereld heen. Adrian Newey zou Red Bull Racing willen verhalen en mogelijk een overstap maken naar Ferrari. Ook het internet reageerde geschokt: daar wordt voornamelijk naar Christian Horner gewezen als aanstichter. Ook denken sommige F1-fans dat dit uiteindelijk gaat leiden tot een vertrek van Max Verstappen.
Internet in shock door nieuws over Newey
If Newey does actually leave it's just reinforcing the statement I made over and over again:

You have read that Fernando Alonso refuted to [join] Red Bull because he doesn't want to pair with Max Verstappen.

But what would you say when Aston Martin successfully sign Adrian Newey and Max Verstappen also comes along then Aston Martin dismiss Lance Stroll?
“His desire to leave stems from his unhappiness over the situation involving Horner, which has led to a multi-faceted power struggle at Red Bull.”

Always said Adrian Newey was too good for such a toxic team. This is wonderful news, wherever he goes. https://t.co/9DXNR8oSaN
Lawrence Stroll has the perfect opportunity to have a Newey, Alonso, Verstappen, Honda team for 2026 and yet somehow Stroll will keep his seat.

Getting interesting now! The biggest chess piece of all, Adrian Newey, to leave Red Bull still unhappy about the Horner incident but where does he go?

Did Alonso get a tip off that Aston is where he's headed? Surely it's there or the romantic dream of Ferrari with Lewis? Or ...

If the reason Newey is leaving is true, then Horner’s toxicity will destroy the brand too. https://t.co/Chw2yZhHYb

Newey wanted Horner to leave to limit the damage to Red Bull’s reputation and value. Newey then wanted to take over as Team Principal. This did not happen, so he is leaving https://t.co/aqO0uXr9KI
