Alex Albon has hinted at a sensational return for Adrian Newey at Williams after his departure from Red Bull. The legendary engineer confirmed his exit from the Milton Keynes-based squad ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, with the 65-year-old due to leave after the first quarter of 2025.

As in other sports, F1's "silly season" is what they call that time period when contracts are up and people are switching to new teams; it's named as such because it's what happens when there's no real news to report but you need a story anyway.

Adrian Newey has switched to an iconic F1 team amid his eventual departure from Red Bull in an ultimate throwback move. Red Bull announced their key engineer was leaving the team ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, and is expected to depart in early 2025.

It is a question currently gripping the Formula 1 world: where will Adrian Newey go after leaving Red Bull Racing? The designer is mostly associated with a move to Ferrari, but team boss Frederic Vasseur keeps his mouth tightly shut when asked about it.
