Adrian Newey warns Red Bull about RB20 front-end problems and awaits final step for Ferrari F1 move

In the current scenario, Adrian Newey doesn't mince words. The British designer asserts that Formula 1 always offers room for improvement. Despite the RB20's commendable performance in the first six world championship events, it's evident it's not flawless. This was apparent at the Miami International Autodrome in Florida, where, despite encountering race-related issues mentioned earlier, the car's performance didn't reach its usual pinnacle. This affirmation is corroborated directly by a technician closely associated with Ferrari, who asserts to have pinpointed several areas for the car's refinement.
Unsurprisingly, addressing these issues involves tire management, particularly concerning the compounds influencing the front end. Throughout the American circuit, especially during the race, but also over the entire weekend, the three-time Formula 1 world champion expressed dissatisfaction with the front end's handling. Even during qualifying, the chemistry with the Pirelli tires seemed subpar, affecting both the front and rear. Max Verstappen struggled to achieve the optimal temperature, crucial for maximizing grip. When this temperature exceeds the necessary threshold, the tires tend to overinflate, impacting performance.
Looking towards the future of Adrian Newey, it commences now: the British engineer bids farewell to Red Bull and disengages from the RB20's development for the 2024 F1 season. While Newey made his final appearance at the Miami Grand Prix as part of the Austrian team's racing squad, his involvement was limited to strategic discussions regarding the Sprint Race and Sunday's main event.
Observing him jotting notes on Ferrari's grid position isn't surprising; it's a familiar sight, underscoring his meticulous approach. Following his temporary departure from the F1 scene, the spotlight shifts to Maranello, where efforts intensify to secure Newey's expertise from mid-2025, coinciding with the expiration of his Red Bull contract and the conclusion of the gardening period, formally initiated upon the announcement.
