Jeremy Clarkson a𒈔nd Adrian Newey were at school together before their careers made them four-wheel leg𝔉ends.

Now the former T♕op Gear TV presenter ⛄has weighed in on the furore around Newey's next career move.

Newey wil🐲l quit Red Bull, where he has worked for 19 years and overseen two championship-winning eras and designed multiple title-winning cars, in early-2025.

Ferrari are considered hisꦿ likeliest destination but his old🃏 mate reckons he could be plotting something else.

"Ever since he announced he would be leaving his job as chief engineer at Red Bull Racing,ꦍ everyone has been wondering which team Adrian Newey might join," Clarkson wrote for .

"It’s aဣ big question. It was a Newey-designed car that took Nigel Mansell to the world🌳 championship in 1992 and Alain Prost in 1993.

"In the late Nineties, McLaren dominated using Newey’s cars, so it was obvious when he switched to Red Bull in 2006 what would hapꦍpen next🍷. And indeed it did.

"But there’s another possibility. Late last year, Newey started work on a new sail💟ing boat.

"And as he’s now 65 years old, who knows?

"He mig𝄹ht just decide to bugger off and spend the autumn of his years sailing round th♈e world on that."

It is no secret that Newey has passions outsꦍide of Formula 1.

He is currently building a yacht which he hopes꧋ will sail around the world.

And, for the rest of this year, will remain invol𒊎ved in the RB17 hyper🐽car project.

The idea that Newey could simply sail off into the distance rather than embark on designing the new era of F1 cars under the 2026 regulations will be a hamme🐲r blow to🍰 prospective new employers who will see him as the key to their championship hopes.
