[Saba Sports News] Red Bull Racing’s Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey will leave next year. In response, Newey’s agent and former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan revealed on the Success podcast that there are far more teams interested in Newey than initially thought; at least 12 teams are admirers of him, including 10 current F1 teams and two non-active ones. However, Jordan did not disclose which two non-active F1 teams are interested in Newey. Fans speculate that if Jordan’s revelation is correct, it indicates that these two non-active teams are confident they will join F1 soon. In my opinion, among the 10 active F1 teams, Mercedes can be ruled out as a possibility since they have their own strong technical team and have never discussed recruiting Newey. By 2025, 65-year-old Newey could collaborate with a new F1 team, meaning he could help develop cars under the new engine regulations for 2026.
