Adrian Newey will🍷 leave a huge🦄 amount of money on the table, if his Red Bull exit is confirmed.

Newey’s salary is “conservatively estimated to be £10million a year”, accorಌding to the  but they insist his earnings will even exceed that figure.

He signed his mos𝓀t recent deal with Red Bull ahead of the 2020 F1 season.

At the🍌 time, he was heavily lಞinked to Ferrari but a bumper new deal convinced him to stay with Red Bull.

Four years later, it seems the car designer extraordinai💎re is set to exit.

Red Bull have☂ delivered a reminder that he is contracted until “at least” the end of 2025, hinting at clauses which may tie him to the team fo♍r longer.

Reportedly, N✨ewey must face a long period of gardening leave if he chooses to leave.

That could stop him from joining an F1 rival team until 2027 - which is one year into the new regulations, whic🥃h begin in 2026.

For a car designer🦄, that complicates his entry into a new project.

Newey could negotiate ♌different terms fo♈r his exit from Red Bull.

That may🔴 come with a financial penalty to their𒅌 chief technical officer.

A rival F1 team who want♔s to bring Newey in (before 2027) could even opt to buy out his contract,ꦰ if Red Bull are willing to play ball.

ꩲNewey, aged 65, will be of interest to Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin.

All three manufacturers have the deep pocket🅠s required to tempt Newey.

Ferrari have already shelled out massi🔯vely to bring in Lewis Hamilton but their new title sponsor, Hewlett-Packard, gives them extra financial firepower.

Mercedes, who will save Hamilton’s big wages when he leaves next year, could opt t🐷o reinvest in Newey.

Aston Martin are bankrolled by billi❀onaire Lawrence Stroll who has already reportedly tried to bring Newey to his Silverstone-based team.
