What’s next for Adrian Newey after his time off from Red Bull Racing? Everyone in the Formula 1 scene is scratching their heads, trying to figure it out. Even Jeremy Clarkson threw his two cents into the mix, pondering Newey’s next move in his Sun column.
Newey’s been a cornerstone at Red Bull for ages. Yet, his magic wasn’t confined there; Williams and McLaren also tasted his success. Now, he’s got teams lining up for him. Aston Martin and Ferrari are practically drooling, and a Williams comeback? Not off the table.
**Where does Newey’s future lie?**
Clarkson’s just as intrigued as we are. “It’s a big question,” he muses. Remember the Newey-crafted cars that led Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost to glory in the early ’90s? Or how McLaren became an unstoppable force with Newey in the late ’90s? When he joined Red Bull in 2006, well, we all knew what was coming. And boy, did it happen. Newey’s designs are like a cheat code for winning.
But Clarkson’s curiosity doesn’t stop there. “So where will he go next?” he probes. Some whisper about Ferrari cozying up with Lewis Hamilton. Others speculate about a Mercedes move with Max Verstappen. Yet, Clarkson hints at an unexpected twist. Last year, Newey got his hands dirty with a new sailing boat project. At 65, might he just sail into the sunset, embracing the sea’s call in his golden years?
