Actually he can't, called a gardening leave clause. Or otherwise known as a non compete, he wouldn't be able to join a team until 27, start a design until 28 and that car see the track until 29. That would make him 70 years old. I'm thinking he's just ready to retire and have fun with all his other hobbies.

Ferrari has a unique advantage. They can offer him a “pick and race”-clause for their cars. Ferrari can offer him everything. Facilities, chassis and engine, historic cars, le man’s team, prestige, challenge, culture, scenery, food, sea, money, Italian god status etc. He can do whatever he wants in Italy.

@@nakki123 It doesn't mean that, in fact it's not likely that at all. Red Bull has been attracting top talent and poaching other's top talent for many years, they have massive money, the best driver, and a winning history, they are loaded with some of the best engineers in F1. Adrian has been mentoring and developing those engineers for many years, Pierre Wache is basically his protege and any team would jump at the opportunity to get him. There are many credible sources saying, including Adrian himself, that he hasn't been as involved in the last two cars, taking a more advisory role and allowing Wache more freedom to apply his vision (how much, I don't know, but Adrian clearly has a lot of trust in Pierre's ability, as well as the other engineers). Red Bull's future dominance is much more so tied to the performance of their upcoming PU in 26, than it is to Adrian Newey. That and just how well everyone else deals with the new regulations. Red Bull also poached many top engineers from Honda, to go along with the rights to use the current Honda PU technology for their new in-house engine. Adrian is the best in history, but there is a massive team of brilliant engineers behind him, who have been working with him for many years, so Adrian would be leaving Red Bull in good hands.

What if Newey wants to downscale? What if he wants a real back-to-basics challenge? If trust issues really broke down his relationship with RB, James Vowles seems like the guy I’d want to work with. Williams would be a hell of a challenge, not that they could pay him what he deserves, but maybe he wants that coming-up-from-nothing sort of experience once more in his career.

I'd like him to go to Andretti/Cadillac. They have the resources and know for the best 26 power unit. Also he will have a hand in Indy cars which he prefers to F1.

The way RBR appears to have been set up, the CEO does not have access to all deals and negotiations. What appears to be more surprising is that Helmut Marko can include clauses in driver contracts without the knowledge of the CEO. Those clauses may include HM being disassociated with RBR and drivers leaving because of this. Whole thing is strange.

Hey Peter massive fan I love your super in depth knowledge of everything f1.

Interesting point about Poor Carlos, I didn't think about that. But to have to leave Scuderia, when they just pick up Newey. Ugh. What a dream team. Yea that would be a kick I'm the nuts.

Hm, I think that since this IS about trust and feeling the team is a good environment, I could actually see Max wanting to leave for much the same reasons that Newey would leave, and especially after learning that Newey was off elsewhere too. It does look like the Max camp was unimpressed with Horner cozying up to the Thai part of Red bull to try and "go it alone" without RB Austria, so would he really feel that content staying there?

The 1 year gardening leave sounds like the perfect time to enjoy his new Oyster yacht before getting itching feet about returning to the drawing board and engineering meetings. 🙂

He won’t be anywhere in 2026 you mean. His contract is for 2025… so is his RB17 car design, it’s not ready yet. Will be ready in 2025… So 2026 gardening leave.. the man is 65 already now….

There is nothing official only a rumour. Adrian Newey has a RBR contract for 2025 with 1 year gardening leave if he goes to another F1 team. Adrian is still working on the RB17 hypercar together with his son Harrison.

Is it possible he would consider doing a Gordon Murray and privately design race and road cars.

I think it be cool to see him go to under dog team to bring them to the top

any chance, given Newey's interest in sailing that a Newey, Ferrari, and Prada Red Moon alliance?

I doubt a 65 y/o man who has accomplish a lot and is in retiring age would move to Italy to prove what? that he can win another championship? I would be more inclined to believe that he would move to Aston till he turns 70 and reuniting with Honda and maybe with Max.

New has always said that he wanted to work with Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton before he retired. This is known.

@@CamKrazy2000 Newey got all the money that he needs. He gets like 10 million per season, I think money is the last thing that will lure him into your team.

Adrian at Ferrari with Lewis would be fantastic and would very much explain why Lewis is so comfortable with his decision to join the Scuderia.

I suspected from the start of this drama Adrian and MAx will end up at AM, Looks like newey now, and max when Alonso retires. And that along side Honda now looks much much more appealing for max.

I agree with many others, he's likely to retire if he leaves Red Bull Racing 🏎️. He's not getting any younger, I'm sure Red Bull has a succession plan in place anyway. It would be a massive error of management if RBR hadn't planned for him leaving.

Peter, would Newey thrive if he went to Ferrari? or would the sophisticated and pressured management structure mean he would never have the overall control as he has enjoyed at other teams.? so many designers of the past have struggled there because of its unique pressure. would he have the freedom and establish the creative environment he needs? great videos btw I love listening to your thoughts.

what abput newey to williams?

100% Carlos to RBR would be ideal for Carlos. Worst case scenario, he is in a competitive car with Max. Best case, he is in a competitive car and is the lead driver because Max has left. Either of those scenarios is preferable to years of Audi uncertainty.

I think you made a better case for Aston. The politics at Ferrari are far worse than anywhere else. Does he want to move to Italy? The pro is he gets to make a road car and finally work with Lewis. Merc has politics as you stated and MB to deal with. At Aston he could make another road car with them and work with Alonso. He has said it was a regret not working with either him or Lewis.

In his biography Adrian mentions two key things on his motorsport engineering bucket list: going to Ferrari and working with Lewis Hamilton... I have a hunch that whatever the deal is it was done long before the Horner entrapment/media-assassination storm broke. Newey has always left teams in a rather disorderly fashion...

if asrian really loves the challenge i would love to see him at Haas

I wonder if marko will leave, join, Mercedes, and max will trigger his release Early and go to Mercedes, jos is saying marko is out soon, and max contract is tied to him

There is obviously a lot more to what's going on at RBR. I guess it will come out in the end.
