Christian Horner has taken the heat after he posted a thank you to the departing Adrian Newey for the past few years. Many Red Bull Racing fans see in the British team boss the cause of the departure of the so successful engineer.
In Red Bull's press release, Horner thanked his 'friend' Newey for the successful collaboration. "The past 19 years with Adrian have been extremely enjoyable. When Adrian joined Red Bull, he was already a superstar designer for me. Now, two decades and 13 championships later, he leaves as a true legend. He is not only my colleague but also my friend, and I will be eternally grateful to him for everything he has contributed to our collaboration."
According to rumours, internal unrest within Red Bull is the reason for Newey's departure. The top designer reportedly no longer feels comfortable with all that is currently going on and has therefore reportedly decided to take on a new challenge. Fans are therefore accusing Horner on social media of being the instigator of Newey's departure.
Some of the frequently liked reactions:
- you're the reason he's leaving buddy
