Christian Horner breaks silence on Red Bull’s ‘long-term’ Adrian Newey plans amidst Aston Martin’s interest 

Aston Martin has offered Red Bull’s chief technology officer, Adrian Newey, a role. Newey, who signed a new deal with Red Bull last year might get swayed by the Lawrence Stroll-owned team. Red Bull is going through a lot of turmoil, which has had an unfavorable impact on the team. However, Red Bull has made it clear that the technical director is to stay with the team. 

Christian Horner’s controversy set the way for the turmoil happening at Red Bull. After the speculations, the team has been undergoing a lot of internal politics and power struggles. Despite the team being surrounded by speculation, their performance is as brilliant as ever.

Horner is well aware of Adrian Newey’s value to the Red Bull team.

Adrian's an important part and long-term part of our team. He's enmeshed within the team. There's always going to be interest in Adrian for sure.

A sigh of relief for Max Verstappen who already has lost two key figures within a year. Newey has been part of the team for over a decade and his hard work has helped the team reach the heights they are at currently.

Adrian Newey has broken silence on speculations surrounding him

Adrian Newey has played a huge role in Red Bull’s success. However, in the last couple of weeks, there have been speculations going around regarding his possible move, as Aston Martin has made an astonishing offer.

Lawrence Stroll desperately wants to bring Newey to the Silverstone-based team from next year onward.

I enjoy [it]. Ever since I was 10 or so, certainly by 12, I wanted to be a designer - I don’t think I knew the word ‘engineer’ - in motor racing, and ideally, Formula 1. So I think as long as I continue to enjoy it and the team wants me then I’ll continue to do it for the moment and then we'll have to see in the future. I don't tend to plan too far forward.

The chief technical officer has built several cars for Red Bull, which has helped the team to win quite a few constructors championships. His designs for RB19 and this year’s RB20 have made the Austrian outfit the most dominating team on the grid. With his vague response to the speculations, Newey has left room open for interpretation.
