"My lips are sealed" - Adrian Newey's manager coy about Red Bull maestro's future

Former F1 team owner and Adrian Newey's manager, Eddie Jordan, recently talked about the Brit announcing his departure from Red Bull. He stayed tight-lipped when it came to spilling the beans about Newey's next destination.

On May 1, Red Bull officially announced that Newey would leave the team after the first quarter of 2025. This caused a whirlwind of discussions about which team the aero wizard could join next, or whether he would retire entirely from the sport.

Even though Jordan is Newey's manager, he avoided revealing any details about the Brit's future yet managed to make an insightful statement. Speaking on the Formula For Success podcast with former F1 driver David Coulthard, he shared how close he and Newey were, but still did not spill any information.

“So whatever his [Adrian Newey's] decision, we wish him well. I’m not going to, in this case, I’m joining you on the fence, and I’m not going to say what is likely my advice, but you know, we do speak a lot,” Jordan said.

“We’re next-door neighbours so to speak, and so there are certain things I know about and certain things he knows about me. But you know, my lips are sealed – you won’t get a word out of me!” he exclaimed.
