Ford Motorsport has responded to Adrian Newey's announced departure from Red Bull Racing in early 2025, highlighting the team's robust succession plans. Mark Rushbrook, chief executive at Ford Motorsport, has made a statement, reassuring stakeholders that the focus remains squarely on the upcoming engine collaboration in 2026, despite the significant personnel change.
The executive was quick to shift focus back to the 2026 engine project, underscoring Ford's commitment regardless of the recent development. "Without answering that question directly, I would like to say that continuity was already discussed in the very first conversations I had with Christian Horner. My question to him was: how will Red Bull remain successful in 2026 with completely new regulations?"
Rushbrook continues:"As with any good company or any good racing team, there always has to be a solid plan for the succession of certain people. You always try to train people internally and let them grow within the organization. That is in this case would have been no different. I certainly don't mean this with any disrespect to Adrian, because he is fantastic, but every team has a succession plan.
