Christian Horner Rebuts Claims of Adrian Newey’s Impact on Red Bull’s Decline: ‘Issues Were Already There

Published

on

Christian Horner dismisses the notion of Adrian Newey's "stardust" influence, stating, "The problems existed beforehand. The input of a single individual wouldn't have made such a significant difference so rapidly."

Christian Horner firmly believes that Adrian Newey's departure just before the Miami Grand Prix has not caused Red Bull's abrupt decline in the 2024 Formula 1 season.

By chance, Max Verstappen has secured victory in only three races since the Miami event.

McLaren might have easily claimed victory in two of those races if it weren't for Verstappen's exceptional performance.

McLaren is now only eight points behind Red Bull in the constructors' championship, as Red Bull's performance has significantly declined with eight races remaining.

The prospects for Verstappen in the drivers’ championship appear very favorable, as he currently leads Lando Norris by 62 points.

If Red Bull can maintain its performance from the Italian Grand Prix in the upcoming races in Singapore and Baku, the points difference could be significantly reduced before the final races in the Americas and the Middle East.

Newey leaving the team has sparked speculation that Red Bull might already be feeling the effects of his absence.

In a media interview following the race at Monza, with Crash.net in attendance, Horner was questioned about whether Red Bull lacks the unique brilliance that Newey contributes to a team.

Horner responded by saying that he believes they would have faced all the same problems regardless, as those problems already existed, and the contribution of one individual could not have caused such significant changes so rapidly.

"This issue became prominent in Miami, and Adrian was involved up until the Friday of that week, so it couldn't have been affected that rapidly."

The question was posed to Horner about whether Newey could come up with a solution if he remained engaged.

The head of Red Bull responded defensively, emphasizing that Formula 1 is a “team sport” and not reliant on a single person.

Horner clarified that since Formula 1 is a team sport, he'd be collaborating with the same group of individuals, and the team would collectively find a solution.
