Adrian Newey has attended his final F1 race in an official technical capacity for Red Bull, mahb🃏x.com understands.

The legendary designer, widely considered as the greatest in F1 history, will leave Red Bull after nearly two decades to join Aston Martin in March 2025 upo꧂n the expiry of his contract.

Since his Red Bull departure was confirmed in May, Newey has attended races in Miꦆami, Monaco and Silverstone.

mahbx.com understood the plan was for Newey to continue to attend further events for Red Bull in a technical capacity later this season but believe t💟his has now changed. The 65-year-old Briton’s focus will remain on the RB17 hypercar project. 

Despite still being under contract at Red Bull, Newey appea🍸red at Aston Martin’s high-profile press conference to confirm his statement switch at their new state-of-the-art Silverstone base last🎃 Tuesday.

It ✨is understood that Red Bull were left in the dark about Newey’s plans to attend Aston Martin's announcement event. 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner hinted at discontent towards this when he spoke to media including mahbx.com on Friday in Baku🔴.

"It was obviously a large announcement by Aston and Adrian has al🐼ways tended to do his own thing so obviously it was a big moment for that team," Horner said.

"They chose to celebrate it perhaps potentially slightly prematurely before 🦩he has finished his contract with Red Bull Racing but obviously it was a big moment for that 𓃲team.”

Horne🏅r went on to praise Newey’s contribution to Red Bull and wished him well for his future move.

“It wasn’t a grꦚeat surprise. It was becoming clearer and clearer that was t💛he route he was going to go rather than into retirement or any other team,” he added.

“Obviously it will be a new challenge for him and we’ll be sad when he leaves next year. But we wish him all the best for the future and look back with🍌 great fondne🌃ss the 20 years almost that we spent together and the highs and lows during that period.

“Adrian is a very creative guy. He’s not your average designer. I think he’s the only per🐼son in F1 still working on a drawing board.

“Inevitably there will be a process of getting to know each other, how each other work and so on. But he is unique in many respects. A🍌ston will look to draw upon his huge experience.”
