Red Bull’s Masterstroke: Newey and Hamilton’s Surprise Partnership to Boost Verstappen’s Chances
The Formula 1 world has been abuzz with the news of legendary designer Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull, announced at the Miami Grand Prix. Newey, responsible for 13 drivers’ and 12 constructors’ championships, has been the subject of much speculation.
Former F1 team manager and journalist Peter Windsor believes that one person has significantly influenced Newey’s future.
Meanwhile, Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell may hold the key to Red Bull’s success for the remainder of the 2024 season. With 10 Grands Prix weekends left, Red Bull faces a intense battle with McLaren, and Mercedes could be the unexpected savior.
Hamilton’s involvement could be the extra attraction that Newey needs to reconsider his future.
In other news, Max Verstappen, the three-time world champion, has returned from his summer break refreshed and ready for the remainder of the season. Verstappen spent his holidays with girlfriend Kelly Piquet and family, and seems fully charged for the upcoming races.
Despite frustration in the last five races before the break, Verstappen still holds a comfortable 78-point lead over Lando Norris.
The Dutch GP at Zandvoort is next on the schedule, an event Verstappen has won all three times since its reintroduction in 2021.
However, teammate Sergio Perez will face a change, as his race engineer, Bird, goes on paternity leave.
Bird will supervise at Zandvoort before taking a temporary absence.
As the season heats up, the dynamics between teams and drivers continue to shift.
The unexpected influence of Hamilton and Mercedes on Red Bull’s success adds a new layer of complexity to the championship battle.
Will Newey’s future be shaped by Hamilton’s involvement? Only time will tell.
