The influence of Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull has been debated amid the team’s declining domin🔴ance.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen overcame a mid-season ꦛslump to wrap up his fourth Formula 1 championship iಞn a row at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Buꩲt that title was at-risk when the RB20’s competitiveness fell behind after McLaren introduced a game-changing upgrade in Miami.

Jenson Button told Sky Sports that, if Newey 𒁏was still involved in the day-to-day development at Red Bull, he might have nipped their decline in the bud.

“Definitely. It’s not all down to Adrian𒆙, how they build these cars,” Butt𒁏on explained.

“But he was very good with the detail. That’s what t⛦hey’ve lost with Adrian walking away.

“He could take a step back and they would do most of the aerodynamics, then he’d pinpoint certain thin🎃gs and say ‘that needs to be slightly better’.

“So they are missing that.”

Legendary car designer Newey announced he would leave Red Bull earlier this season and has since signed for Aston Martin, who he will officially join i🌼n March 2025.

Newey a﷽nd Jonathan Wheatley are two high-profile exits from a team who have fought among themselves at times this year.

Yet their star driver ꧅Verstappen still did his job on-track.

“This is more of a normal way of winn🌠ing a championship,” Button said.

“Last year wꩲas extr🦹eme and will go down in history.

“In Bahrain [earlier this year] they were half-a-second quicker than everyone and�🍨� we thought it’d be a walk in the park. It was, for a few races.

“Then off-track there was a lot for us to talk꧑ about, and a fractured 🍎team.

“Newey leaving is a big deal. Whether it affects this 🅰year? I don’t think so. But it was spiralling.

“Watching Max on-track he seemed calm to get as many points as pꦡossible in every race. He didn’t get stressed by not having the fastest car. He got it into h🐟is head that he won’t win another race, ‘just do the best I can’.”
