I really love Adrians personality. Even with all of his success he's still so humble and grateful to be working in F1. He's really living his dreams out and trying to enjoy every minute

I’ve known Adrian in a small way, when he share a room with Jeff and I after suffering a terrible Isle of Mann TT crossing where all our Bikes were dashed to the floor in a Force 12 gale, he was fairly new into a job at a small team in Reading , I have followed his career through the years and we all meet by chance at Goodwood and Adrian dragged us onto the RedBall stand through the back door and had a chat in front a ten deep crowd . I have always wondered what the crowd thought seeing two bikers in leathers chatting to Adrian . Also posing for a picture with us . What a talented and unassuming man . I know it’s a team sport but his record speaks for itself self . I have just arrived home from hospital after A tumble ( not Bike related ) and I have managed sit up and watch this. The guy is a good example of what is right in the sport long may he continue

Great story. Anyone that's heard of what happened at his only ever job interview in F1 would not have been surprised. It was with Harvey Postletgwaite at Fittipaldi Automotive, and basically consisted of Harvey going for a spin on Adrian's bike.

And handy in the Monaco historique too. For a mechanical enthusiast he makes f1 interesting and feel still a little old school. Hope he pops up at Ferrari

Pretty good scoop for Oyster.

EJ really putting in the hours on this press tour. 10/10 manager

Seems like an intelligent and very sweet man and also very humble! I hope he’s able to stay busy and keep that mental sharpness that…as he said sometimes dulls with retirement! And what a compliment to have his friend say that for all the years he’s been his friend that he’s never none of anyone to say anything negative about him! What a tribute to this talented man!

As a south african, so happy to see that Cape town has fond memories for Adrian and Eddie.

Do whatever you want Adrien. You've already given us so much.

Best comment so far. There are others too....However such a mark on F1 for so many years,keeping US interested. Yes already given us so much. Have a great time. 😊

I am a F1 fan and a sailor. At 72 I would love a big Oyster to take me round the world. Some people might not realise it but sailing gets more difficult physically when you get older. Good luck whatever you do Adrian.

He has a crew…

A very humble and gentle man he’s designed some the championship winning cars from my childhood up to now in my late thirties. A real talent

Very Humble man for someone who is a genius

Would love to see him go back to Williams and restore their greatness.

This is an amazing super recent interview and as far as I know the first time Adrian gives insight into his current thinking and future plans… Congratulations for getting Adrian Newey and Eddie Jordan on and speaking about the current events, bet SKYSportsF1 are very envious now, 2 legends of sport, joy to listen to and great marketing for Oyster as well!

If Sky F1 did that interview, it would have been 99% about Hamilton and how great he is!!!

Don’t forget that he has to take a year off “ garden leave “ its in his contract ...

Amazing conversation between two good friends, great audio and production quality. We can see the joy from Adrian Newey just talking about the plan. It definitely will be such an experience to sail on his oyster, Such a shame that Zak Brown did not make it on stage tho! Thank you for making all these videos.

Took me 6 secs to figure out what he's doing. Thank for the quick vid, and the quick news.

The tifosi will be welcoming him with open arms! 🙂

Adrian, come to Sicily with your boat (Milazzo, just in front of Aeolians islands) and carry your bike with you. I'll show you Nibali's roads ecc. Feel free to contact me (if you'll ever read this comment)

Can't believe Eddie is his manager. Newey doesn't need one surely. Obviously good mates too.

Well i say it was to help him get out of the contract and no gardening leaving. Also Eddie loves to say he loves to take money off Ferrari with the amount of drivers he sold them. Also AM is his old Jordan team. So if you want to get out of a contract and get back to work when you want and talk to those 2 teams. EJ would be the best man in your corner. I really hope he retires or goes some where else but not F1. we would have a closer season if his cars where not on the grid

Newey's contract will be worth millions if not 10s of millions. A year. There are no cost caps on people salaries for key staff. Yes he needs a manager. I didn't know that Eddie Jordan was a manager tho.

I'd tell every engineer at his level to get themselves a manager. An engineer's mindset is not suitable for wage negotiations, or if it is, they're not good engineers ;)

Managers handle a bunch of admin stuff you don't want to deal with. It lets Adrian focus on things he wants to focus on. Makes perfect sense.

Thank you for everything you have done for Motorsport and to advance the sport. Your book “How to Build a Car” was an amazing insight into the process and creative disciplined problem solving that makes the Formula so fascinating and keeps millions of fans engaged on the compelling blend of technology, man, data, and decision making under uncertainty.

Getting F1 news from a yacht company was not on my bingo card but I'm not complaining

An excellent, insightful conversation. Brilliant strategy by EJ unfolding.

Thanks for this, watched the previous video of Adrian viewing the build of his yacht ,this one is also good to hear Adrian and Eddie chatting. It could have been longer but well done.

my takeaway is that - a couple of years on his boat, then back to McLaren for one last time

His Oyster Yacht will feel at home at an Italian port and a nice house in Tuscany for him and his wife.

I find it hilarious that Adrian had no idea how big of a deal he is.

awesome thanks for sharing

Eddie and Adrian, my fellow Capetonians! 😀

I met Adrian’s dad when he lived in Yorkshire… What a lovely man!

Eddie Jordan is a force of nature.

He is a pure magician

Be great to see Adrian go back to Williams.

fantastic interview

An amazing engineer. Allen Millyard is another. Humble, yet highly intelligent.

two wonderful characters from two different sides of the scale but they merge seamlessly

2 Giants in sport i dont believed r interviewd enough these gents r legends

This feels like an auction for Adrian. Well he’s certainly earned his value!

Eddie let that one slip lol. Adrian is off to McLaren then lol. Great interview!

Ha ha Eddie’s ‘interviewing’ style has not changed over the years - he will sort of ask a question then by the time he’s finished talking then either everyone has forgotten the question or he has ran out of time and we don’t hear the answer. Got to love EJ!

I saw Eddie Jordan's sailing yacht Lush in Gibraltar, looking forward to see Adrian Newey sailing yacht too...

He is a man of passion, which would go well with the Williams team.

Just keep doing what you love most!

Eddie trying to get on that chair like a baby`s first chair had me in bits lol

Take a break, checkout that sailboat,drive those vintage racecars, enjoy the moment,Bon Voyage

It’ll be a sad day when he’s gone what a wonderful man, let’s hope he does what Ross brourn did with schumy and helps Hamilton 👍👍

The Leyton house car to me is one of the nicest looking F1 cars

What Eddie doesn't seem to realise is; when someone is good at what they do, their job is not so stressful for them 😂

A true legend!!!!

Italy makes some nice road bikes 😉

He's off to work with Alonso at Aston Martin case closed been obvious ever since Alonso snap signed his Astom martin contract as opposed to switching to either Mercedes or Redbull (which theres no doubt he would have had the option of either for next season)

Adrian, please design a new future for racing hulls with oyster using next level Americas cup technology but at smaller size and affordability ? The industry needs consolidated application of Knowledge to provide fast efficent conversion of wind to speed.

You weren't 65 15 years ago. This is great. Thank you.

"It's a crap bike. When we get the next deal from Zak ... Euhm, or whoever it might be." Thanks Eddie 😅 For convenience, Zak snuck out the building beforehand and wasn't there anymore when being called on stage 😏

Did Eddie say a new bike would be included in the deal from Zak…? 14:59

Yes he did, sort of 😅

One word ..legend

Never really sailed apart from dinghies and the americas cup haha quite the bookends of sailing

Great move by Eddie Jordan and he's doing a great job.

Aldo Costa won 26 F1 championships, and James Allison has won 21.

I hope he'll sail away while he still has the time. New tomorrows aren't a given..so I truly hope Adrian will enjoy a well earned retirement. 😉❤🙏🏻

If Andrian really wanted to challenge himself, he would join a team that he hasn't been with before and is not a factory team like Ferrari or Audi...someone like Haas.

"At some point I'll probably go again" Sounds like he's taking a sebbatical from F1 and maybe return later..?

Sails are also aerodynamic devices, just like wings. That will capture his imagination.

@ 15:24 Adrian explains in one sentence why Boeing is / was doomed (I know is not related to F1, but the principle is valid). Just a thought. Thank you for sharing.

He'll go build his own like Gordon . Watch

❤

Enjoy your boat you lucky soul.

Interesting comment about the amount of races being held. Are we going to lose more great talent to the rigors of the F1 calander?

No.

Ross Brawn did 7 world championships with Michael Schumacher so that's 15 driver + constructor championships.

Very poignant on his engineering friends who are no longer in engineering. It is sad as he says. In the UK engineers are rarely valued enough for their skills considering the effort that goes into learning to become one and become professional. Very many engineers simply head into management or financial industries or other more commercial jobs because they can get paid properly for their abilities. It is a sad state of affairs really. I am still in engineering myself but i know my classmates (and who are still friends today) earn minimum 2x more doing non engineering professional roles. And they dont have to work any harder or smarter. Granted a few really lament not being able to be an engineer, but at the end of the day you cant pay your way with job satisfaction and love for engineering.

Everyone is just speculating, but the bottom line is that Newey will enjoy himself first. And no one knows what he will do in the future, not Sky sports or F1, who now as I post this, say that Newey admits he will return to another team soon! It's all nonsense...only Newey himself knows what he's going to do, so stop speculating!!

happy retirement Mr. Adrian

Perhaps as an advisor, but as a full-time designer, very unlikely. The man has his eyes set on enjoying retirement, sailing around the world.

He may stay in F1 in an advisory capacity, but committing to a full-time gig with a team is very unlikely. You can tell he has his eyes set on enjoying his retirement, sailing around the world. He has just bought a £6million+ Oyster Yacht. Enjoy it Adrian, well deserved, absolute legend.

As an oyster in the sea….

I thought he was going to McLaren?

Let’s also remember red bull won nothing when they didn’t have a reliable Honda engine, the combination of a Newey chassis and aero a Honda engine and a top 6 driver gave them success. Remove Newey and no success I’m afraid. Remove the present driver and any one of the top six drivers could sit in that car and win. Newey can’t be replaced, Honda can’t be replaced that’s fact and why he’s the best design engineer ever to put a F1 car on a track. Hondas use of chrome linings and split turbos was the key factor to giving Red bull the 1 sec a lap advantage that has given them the edge, coupled with the designed rule change brought in to break up Mercedes dominance in f1.

🚗🙏😁

Who’s here from Ted? 😂

Hopefully to Williams..😬

Is Eddie becoming the new Bernie. ..... in his head at least maybe.

Ferrari Next!!!!!

please go to Andretti

I’m guessing Oyster’s website and social media traffic has just increased dramatically because of this Newey bloke recently lol
