Red Bull F1: Helmut Marko fuels Newey speculation and makes a striking prediction about the future

Adrian Newey is leaving the Red Bull Racing team and due to his resignation, there has been a lot of bubbling around the top designer. Several teams are mentioned, but Helmut Marko makes a prediction as to where his valued colleague’s next step will be.

The decision has finally been made last week: Newey is closing the door at Red Bull after a period of no less than nineteen years. The departure of the legendary designer had been in the air for a long time and in recent days everything around Newey accelerated. The 65-year-old Briton has finally done what rumors had been claiming for several days: resigned from the Austrian team. According to various reports, he has not really felt out of place since the end of last season and that has only become worse this season due to all the internal struggles within the team.

Pension?

The main question now is where Newey’s future will lie. People talk about teams like Aston Martin, Ferrari, McLaren and Williams. However, given the designer’s respectable age, it is quite possible that he will pack up and leave the sport after this season. Last year the technician bought a boat and manager and good friend Eddie Jordan recently said that it wouldn’t be strange if he started enjoying that instead of the stressful work of the premier class.

Aston Martin

Nevertheless, Marko makes an attempt to estimate where his loyal colleague of many years will leave his next footprint in life: Although the Ferrari team constantly predominates in the rumors, Marko sees it all slightly differently: “In what color do you see I Newey in the future? I think red clashes a bit with the dark blue,” he said in conversation Total Motorsport on Red Bull Racing’s own colours. “But I think anything is possible with a great color like green,” he refers to Lawrence Stroll’s Aston Martin. The wealthy businessman is said to have already thrown a lot of money on the table for Newey’s services and Fernando Alonso and Newey have also expressed several times in the past that they are disappointed that they never worked together. In addition, Newey does not have to move for a switch to Aston Martin and he can continue to live in England.
