Newey has been with the Red Bull outfit since the beginning and has played a huge role in helping the team land seven world championships. When it comes to his most recent contributions, no one can forget the beast (RB19) he produced for the 2023 season.

Max Verstappen, on the other hand, has gotten better and better with each passing year, and today is considered the best driver on the current grid. The 26-year-old has won the drivers championships thrice since 2021. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, it will be fascinating to see how the inner turmoil at Red Bull will affect the antics of Verstappen and Newey.
