Red Bull Designer Adrian Newey
Red Bull Designer Adrian Newey:Formula One's design guru Adrian Newey is rumored to be leaving championship team Red Bull, according to media reports. Red Bull denies any official notification and claims Newey is contracted until at least 2025.
Newey, a highly sought-after talent, might be seeking an earlier exit to join another team as early as next season. This news comes amidst internal turmoil at Red Bull, including allegations against team principal Christian Horner.
Newey's designs have delivered a staggering 25 championships across three teams. With Red Bull currently dominating the sport, his departure could have major implications.
Ferrari, with Lewis Hamilton joining next year, and Aston Martin are potential landing spots for Newey. Mercedes, facing their own challenges, have expressed interest in Verstappen, potentially replacing Hamilton in 2025.
Newey's contract might include gardening leave, restricting him from immediately joining a competitor.
Red Bull's recent struggles, including issues with Horner and Verstappen's father, could be a factor in Newey's decision. Newey, along with other key technical staff like Pierre Wache, are considered crucial to Red Bull's success.
Ferrari Announces HP as New Title Sponsor and Special Livery for Miami GP
Ferrari has signed a multi-year deal with HP, making the tech giant their new title sponsor. This means HP branding will appear on Ferrari's Formula One cars and the team name will change to Scuderia Ferrari HP, starting at the Miami Grand Prix (May 3-5).
A unique car livery will be unveiled for the Miami race to celebrate the partnership. This follows Ferrari's recent announcement of a special blue livery for the Miami GP, marking their 70th anniversary in the U.S. market. Traditionally, racing colors represented nationalities, with red for Italy and blue for the U.S.
The partnership goes beyond branding. Ferrari will utilize HP's technology and services, including computers, collaboration tools, and printing solutions. HP aims to support Ferrari's "training precision and optimize strategic decision-making."
Sustainability and education are also part of the deal. Both companies aim to collaborate on these initiatives within their teams and communities.
Ferrari Goes Blue for Miami GP, F1 Sees Mixed Teammate Battles
Ferrari will celebrate their 70th anniversary in the U.S. Ferrari will take to the Miami Grand Prix.The exact design remains under wraps, but it follows Ferrari's tradition of throwback liveries, like the red one used for their 1000th race.
Meanwhile, Red Bull maintains its dominance. Max Verstappen remains unchallenged, with only a freak incident preventing a clean sweep of wins.
The focus has shifted to the contrasting performances within other teams. Here's a look at some of the key battles:
Ferrari: Charles Leclerc (79 points) vs. Carlos Sainz (69 points)
This is the closest fight, despite the standings. Sainz is Ferrari's standout performer, winning the only race not claimed by Verstappen this year. He also consistently outpaced Leclerc until the Chinese GP. However, Leclerc missed a race due to illness, impacting his points. Leclerc struggles in qualifying compared to Sainz, needing a turnaround to truly challenge for wins.
Red Bull (RB): Yuki Tsunoda (7 points) vs. Daniel Ricciardo (0 points)
This is one of the most lopsided battles. Tsunoda has impressed, scoring points at his home race (Australian GP) while Ricciardo struggles. Tsunoda's performance even sparked rumors of Ricciardo's replacement. There have been signs of improvement from Ricciardo, but RB expects a significant turnaround in Miami.
