Verstappen reveals why Red Bull will 'never be able to replace' Newey

The Dutchman has worked alongside Adrian Newey at Red Bull for many years

Max Verstappen has spoken out on the challenge Red Bull face in finding a replacement for Adrian Newey.

The technical chief will depart the reigning Formula 1 constructors' champions in early 2025, ending a hugely successful spell at the team, during which time he has helped deliver 13 titles.

Verstappen has been a huge part of that success, emerging as the sport's dominant force in recent years after claiming three consecutive drivers' championships.

It remains to be seen if Newey opts to join another F1 team next season - with Ferrari rumoured to be a possible landing spot - or whether he will take some time away from the sport, as has been previously suggested by close friend and manager Eddie Jordan.

"Adrian is Adrian and then you might find someone new who is in his own role.

"I never like people trying to be like someone else anyway, everyone has to work from their own strength and Adrian has his own strengths.

"But, at the end of the day, that role will always be just an Adrian role so now it’s up to the other people in the technical team to continue what they have been doing which they have been doing fantastically.”
