Verstappen might follow Newey to Aston Martin

Adrian Newey's impending departure from Red Bull after nearly two decades has sparked speculation about Max Verstappen's future with the team. While rumors suggest Verstappen might follow Newey to Aston Martin or possibly even Mercedes, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has clarified that only one of them will be leaving.

Contrary to reports, Horner stated that Verstappen's contract does not contain any clauses tied to Newey's future. Despite their successful relationship, Horner emphasized that Verstappen understands the strategic planning behind Newey's departure and that the team structure will remain unchanged. This reassurance comes amid swirling rumors about potential upheavals in Red Bull's lineup, offering some clarity amid the uncertainty surrounding Newey's exit. The 65-year-old is said to have left Red Bull and may have joined a rival team; Ferrari is said to be leading the pursuit. This decision is believed to have been made because of internal unrest inside the organization.
