ADRIAN NEWEY will leave Red Bull at the end of the year after nearly two decades with the high-flying Formula One team.
The 65-year-old, the architect of some of the most dominant cars in F1 history, including the current table-topper, will stay with the team until the end of this season, but step away from design duties.
He will instead focus on the company's hypercar project-the RB17-that he has been working on, before being freed to join a new team in the spring of next year.
Aston Martin have already tabled an offer for his services, but long-term suitors Ferrari are the current favourites to sign him. His signature would be a coup for any team, but previous interested parties McLaren and Mercedes have recently distanced themselves from any approach.
Newey is regarded as the most gifted car designer in F1 history, the architect of dominant cars for the likes of McLaren, Williams and now Red Bull.
He has been the key figure in Red Bull's two periods at the front of the grid, first with Sebastian Vettel and, more recently, Max Verstappen.
