Adrian Newey Leaves Red Bull Racing

[CHT]

Newey is only 65 and has said that he isn’t the type of person to retire, comparing himself to Bernie.

The 2026 regs are a big chance to influence a teams direction for a few years. I can see Newey wanting to be a part of that, even if he takes a step back in 2027 and onwards.

He just bought an Oyster 885 GT I think.
He is going to enjoy travelling. May see him turn up at Monaco in his sailing boat.

Still leaves a bunch of time for consulting during the winter and rainy months...

During European winter time, it will be summer in South Africa and vice versa. And that is where AN currently spend most of his time during winter period with his wife and EJ.

So there is really no shortage of things to do after F1. Having spent millions acquiring a luxury sailing boat and having a permanent crew onboard, I think his short-term challenge will be to eventually sail around the world. And this is something he will have to accomplish while he is young

I do not understand this one person's obsession.

Any team intending to bring in such a senior and highly paid guy like AN, they will have to make strategic changes to technical department in order to blend AN approach into the organisation. For such high level and sensitive recruitment, it unlikely it will be discussed or done out in public like at paddock etc. So whatever picture that we see of AN talking to Toto or Ferrari etc, that is unlikely to be anything about recruitment.

When RB recruited AN, they actually had secret meeting at airport hangar.

So Peter is right about AN joining Merc, and guys like James Allisons may have to go, and that is not something Merc can afford right now. (Budget cap as well) And even if AN join Merc, it may take years because they can see result. There is no magic bullet here

Marko aligns himself with Perez: “I also think that Newey will wear red”

The Austrian manager, reached by the newspaper oe24 , declared that he had been misunderstood: “In view of 2026, the most experienced designer on the market will no longer be with us and I fear that it will be with a rival team. Will he be dressed in green? I was misunderstood, I think about red ."

Is dr Helmut Marko suffering from daltonism?

CHT is going to lose more sleep on this further clue of Newey to Ferrari

I thought your position was that Marko couldn't be trusted and whatever he says we must assume the opposite to be true. So Newey is not going to Ferrari then

I'm just concerned for the old man and his eyes

Say what! The plural of eye, is eyes, we must keep our eyes on this saga...

[Tommy Cookers]

some younger readers might not know ...
years ago Dr Marko lost one of his natural eyes (doing a bit of Sunday driving in a BRM)
he was literally unsuccessful in holding it together

[Vanja #66]

Eye. There's no plural.

I don't discriminate anyone on their origins, biological or not, thank you very much!

There is a world where that comment makes sense

But in this one I'm sure Marko's eye sees red all the time.

But there's only the singular eye
