Adrian Newey will leave a huge amount of money on the table, if his Red Buꦯll exit is confir𒅌med.

Newey’s sal🌳ary is “conservatively estimated to be £10million a year”, according to the  but they insist his earnings will even exceed that figure.

He signed his most recent deal with Red Bull ahead of the 2020 F1 𓃲season.

A🐻t the time, he was heavily linked to Ferrari but a bumper new deal convince൩d him to stay with Red Bull.

Four years later, it seems the car designer extraor🌜dinaire is set to exit.

Red Bull have delivered a reminder thatꦍ he is contracted until “at least” the end of 2025, hinting at clauses which may tie him to the𒐪 team for longer.

Reportedly, Newey must face a long perio⭕d of gardening leave if he chooses 🌄to leave.

That could stop him from joining an F1 rival team untiꦐl 2027 - which is one year into the new regulations, which begin in 2026.

For a car designer, 🌌that complicates his entry into a new project.

Newey could negot𝕴iate different terms for his exit from Red Bull.

That may come 🎐with a financial penalty to their chief technical officer.

A rival F1 team who wants to bri෴ng Newey in (before 2027) could even opt to buy out his contract, 🀅if Red Bull are willing to play ball.

Newey, age♏d 65, willಌ be of interest to Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin.

All three manufacture🦩rs have the deep pockets required𒆙 to tempt Newey.

Ferrari have already shelled out massivelౠy ▨to bring in Lewis Hamilton but their new title sponsor, Hewlett-Packard, gives them extra financial firepower.

Mercedes, who will saveꦚ Hamilton’s big wages when he leaves next year, could opt to reinvest in Newey.

Aston Martin are bankrolled by billionaire Lawre🌳nce Stroll who has already repo𓄧rtedly tried to bring Newey to his Silverstone-based team.
