Jeremy Clarkson and Adrian Newey were at school together before their careers made them four-whee💧l legends.

Now the former Top 𝔍Gear TV presenter has weighed in on the furo🧜re around Newey's next career move.

Newey will 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 his likeliest destination but his old mate reckons hꦉe could be plotting something else.

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

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

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

"But there’s another possibility. Late last year, New🧸ey started work on a n♌ew sailing boat.

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

"He might just decide t🐼o bugger off and spend the autumn of his years sailing round the world on that."

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

He is cꦡurrently building a yacht which he hopes will sail around th👍e world.

And, for the rest of this year, will remain involved ෴𒅌in the RB17 hypercar project.

The ide💛a 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 hammer blow to prospective new employers who will see him as the key to thဣeir championship hopes.
