The Red Bull Racing F1 team has denied being informed that Adrian Newey will switch to another F1 team. However, Red Bull’s denial can be interpreted in two ways.
Yesterday the news suddenly emerged through various channels that Adrian Newey had informed Red Bull of his intention to leave. There were also immediate speculations that Newey would leave for Ferrari or Aston Martin. It remained remarkably quiet from Red Bull Racing, but the racing stable has now responded.
Red Bull said in a response that it is “not aware of Adrian Newey’s transfer to another F1 team”. At first glance, this seems to contradict the reports that Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull. But the denial leaves room for interpretation.
During yesterday’s reporting, it was stated that Adrian Newey had informed Red Bull about his decision to leave Red Bull. However, Red Bull now denies that it is aware of a possible switch to another F1 team, so it does not actually deny that Adrian Newey informed them about a departure.
