Christian Horner dismisses impact of Newey exit
Christian Horner has minimized concerns about the impact of Adrian Newey’s potential departure from Red Bull Racing. Speaking recently, Horner acknowledged Newey’s significant contributions as the team’s chief technical officer but stressed that the team’s success is not solely dependent on him.
Horner emphasized that Red Bull Racing has built a robust and resilient infrastructure over the years. He highlighted the strength of the entire team, including engineers, designers, and other key personnel, who collectively drive the team’s performance. According to Horner, while Newey’s expertise has been instrumental, the organization is well-equipped to sustain its competitive edge even if Newey were to leave.
The focus, Horner suggested, should be on the broader capabilities and resources that Red Bull Racing has developed. He believes that the team’s success is the result of a collective effort and strategic planning, which ensures continuity and stability. In his view, the departure of any single individual, even someone as influential as Newey, would not derail the team’s long-term goals or its ongoing quest for excellence in Formula 1.
