Adrian
Newey, widely regarded as the greatest Formula 1 designer and a chief architect
of Red Bull's title dominance, is set to leave the world champions in the
aftermath of the Christian Horner controversy, media reports claimed Thursday.
Newey, 65, has been with Red Bull since 2005 and has played a key role in all of the team's 13 world titles -- seven drivers and six constructors -- since 2010.
However, he is believed to have become unsettled at the team ever since team principal Horner was accused of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour by a female employee.
