With Adrian Newey open to joining another F1 team in 2025, Red Bull have r🍷evealed that they are phasing him oܫut from important technical meetings.

Ahead of the Miami Grand Pౠrix, Red Bull an🌄nounced that Newey would leave the organisation in the first quarter of 2025.

Newey has been integral toꦡ Red Bull’s success over the years, particularly recently as F1 returned to the ‘🉐ground effect’ era.

The 65-year-old’s role will now be centred around the RB17 hypercar before leaving nexꦬt year.

Newey’s n♏ext move is still unclear but reports have strongly lin𝐆ked him with a switch to Ferrari.

Unsurprisingly, Newey is slowl🃏y being phased out of attending technical meetings an🍎d conversations about next year’s car.

Red Bull technical director Pierre W🎃ache addressed this fact on Friday at Imola.

Wache told Sky Sports: “At the moment, currently as going with the potential of joining aꦰ competitor, it doesn't matter about your name.

“The risk ofꦰ picking up some current IP on the car and the future car even more. We’re being very careful.”

The impact of Newey’s depꦛarture will have on 🧸Red Bull won’t be clear until 2026 given the rules for next year will stay similar.

𒊎Wache remains confident that Red Bull are “prepared” for his exit.

“I think with knowing Adrian… I think everybody knows in this business, Adrian is a big man in this business and maybe the most successful engineer in F1,” he added. “I think it's a big eff🎀e🉐ct for us, but the team was prepared. It's not like we expect him for 20 years more.

“We have to build the team arওound and make sure that we are prepared for this even🐲tuality.”

Even though Red Bull have prepared for Newey’s departure🥂, Wache conceded that the team will need to “prove” it over the next few years.

“It's difficult to answer that for sure. It's what we are planning for,” he explained. “It's what we are working for. But the future will tell us after all we are in the competitive env🔜ironment. As the people say, they are working hard to catch us. We are working hard to stay ahead.

“Now the team has to, and any way before it was a team effort to deliver this car. It's not one person that delivers this car. I would say yes, we are prepared to work as a team to deliver a car after if one person leave, it's a shame, but you know, and even more this type of person like Adrian, that is big important on it. But you know, we were prepared for that for sure. And I think it's something we have to prove around the year and next yea🅷r.”
