Red Bull’s confidence despite the departu🎉re of Adrian Newey may be misplaced, Anthony Davidson says.

The chief technical officer of F1’s most dominant team will leave his role at the s♉tart of next year.

Newey is the best ca🐈r designer in Formula 1 history and Red Bull’s loss will surely𒀰 become one of their rivals’ gain.

“The team keep saying that Adrian Newey ‘has been around a long time, he’s now 🃏more of a consultant, and we will be okay with his departur🐻e’,” Davidson said in Miami on Sky Sports.

“I don’t know… I think they m💫ight start missing his input.

“Even if it’s just someone to keep the team, keep 💧the flow going. Like a conducto✱r does with an orchestra.

“You canꦍ have individuals playing brꦐilliantly with different instruments but you need someone to bring it all together to make lovely music.

“That’s what I believe 🎉Adrian can do in a team, thes൲e days.

“That brain where he can oversee the technical side - the mechanical elements, the suspension, the geometry -❀ and the downforce, the aero, as well.

“He 🍸can bring those departments together, get them in line.

“I think they might miss him, moving forwards.”

Ferrari are reportedly best-placed to swooꦗp for Newey’s services.

His exit will come at🌜 a prec🅰arious time because of the new F1 regulations.

Newey is💞 free to join a rival team next year, giving him time to oversee plans for 2026 when the new hybrid rules come into effect.

Those rules could shake up𝓡 F1 and create a new pecking order, irrespective of where Newey lands.

But having the sporꦍt’s most respected brain in charge of steering the new direction will be a major boost to any team that re🐟cruits Newey.

He has worked at Red Bull for 19 year꧙s and designed the cars which led to Sebastian Vettel’s four-year championship-winning run.

Newey has also created the machinery driven🙈 by Max Verstappen, including this season’s peerless RB20.
