Generally the way it works is he'll have a paid vacation next year, then be free to join whomever in 2026. But at that point that team will already be locked into their car concept for 2026. His new team will have a few years of hilarious unreliability, and then by 2029 they'll have a 70 year old running their engineering department.

Newey or not Red Bull will still be dominant next year, but it might be closer with other teams occasionally winning races.

If it's being announced now, it's because he's had a lawyer read his contract and tell him he can work with another team in 2025. This is also what the BBC believe.
And/or RBR don't want what Newey/his lawyers/the media might get access to in discovery for taking him to court on breach of contract.

RBR don't have an option to retain him that doesn't mean bad PR.

Khiblaheim is right, red bull just put out a statement that they are "unaware of Newey's intentions to quit" which means there's a huge legal shitstorm brewing that's gonna be great to watch

LONDON, April 25 (Reuters) - Red Bull said Formula One's most sought after designer Adrian Newey was signed up until at least the end of next year amid reports on Thursday he was seeking to leave the reigning champions.
A spokesman added they were "unaware of him joining any other team".
