This announcement marks the end of an era for both Newey and the championship-winning F1 team.

Under his technical leadership, Red Bull has clinched seven F1 Drivers' Championships and six Constructors' Championships, accumulating an impressive tally of 118 race victories and 101 pole positions. Newey's creative genius fueled some of the most dominant cars in the modern era of the sport, including the RB6, which secured the team's first double championship in 2010, a triumph that continued through 2013.

As the F1 community absorbs the shock of Adrian Newey's impending departure, his remaining time at Red Bull will undoubtedly be watched closely. Many fans and reporters took to social media to share their thoughts on the news, here is just a selection.
