    Adrian Newey's Red Bull exit - All you need to know

    It's official: Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull Racing. Newey, the team's chief technical officer, will step back from F1 design duties this year and instead focus on Red Bull's RB17 hypercar project before leaving Red Bull altogether in early 2025.

    Assessing Audi's move for Hulk and Newey's potential Red Bull exit

    It's been a busy couple of days in the world of F1 news, and Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to unpack it all. First, they discuss Friday's big news: Nico Hulkenberg becoming the first Audi F1 driver signing. Is this a shrewd move on Audi's part, or an uninspired choice?

They look at the reasons why Newey could walk and debate where he might land next - if, that is, he decides to stay in F1 at all...
