The one thing that has always caught my attention in Max’s response to ‘Will he leave?’ Is that wants a quiet and peaceful environment. That comment can mean very different things to each person and curious what it means specifically to Max. Does newey leaving impact that? I almost wonder if the WDC’s are a priority anymore for Max. That may sound strange but is he already looking to the next form of racing to make his mark on given his success in F1. The guy is consumed by racing and i doubt he cares the platform but the journey mastering it is his motivation. Talking out my butt I suppose but that’s what is rattling around in my head in any case. |

More often than not the best drivers find themselves in the best car, it takes both to be dominant. View Quote In a way. After he signed for Ferrari in 1995, the then editor of F1 racing magazine (Tony Dodgins, if my memory is right) declared in the season preview edition that Schumacher would be champion, such was the hype around his ability. The fact he tended to be well ahead of his teammates at Benetton (with the notable exception of Martin Brundle) created this mythology around him. I saw fans on Internet forums saying he could win in any car on the grid. It is just not true. He was the best around for a long time, but given what we can observer about Alonso, and all the sport science around aging, exactly how much speed did he lose during 2007-2009? It can't have been that much. He was still supremely fit (the yardstick for so long, in fact) and yet, he looked absolutely ordinary vs Rosberg, the entire time they were teammates. You can only conclude two things: He'd lost some pace, and Rosberg was that good. Either way, there was an expectation that he would immediately be winning races, even with the early acknowledgement the 2010 Mercedes wasn't competitive. Senna, by comparison, also preferred 'tame' teammates. He famously vetoed Derek Warwick from joining Lotus, because he was worried (probably rightly so) that the team could not run two cars with the same focus. When Hakkinen out-qualified him on debut in 1993 in Portugal, it lit an enormous fire under him, and he won the final two races of the season. It was psychologically devastating to see him wobble at Williams in the first two GPs; it's difficult to explain unless you were taking it all in at the time. There were people talking about him winning every single race. Of Course, he can't overcome a difficult car. The laws of physics are always going to be the bound. I am seeing similar proclamations about Max. It's a different story when you don't have a competitive car. ETA, this is without mentioning Vettel and the weird collapse in form he had in what was still a Newey-penned car. Newey is another outstanding performer, but he cannot create miracles. John Barnard was similarly lauded, and it was his 1996 Ferrari that the helped build the notion that Michael Schumacher could win in a wheelbarrow, which was jolly unkind to both him and Barnard. The unloved F310 had some excellent details, a superb V10, the first steering wheel that moved all the driver tunables to the wheel center, and ultimately was a winning car in its first year. |

So Newey can’t leave Red Bull until the end of 2025, then he has 1 year of gardening leave. So the earliest he gets to work at a new team is 2027, on the 2028 car.

Craig Slater quote:
Craig Slater on news of Adrian Newey leaving Red Bull after spoken to Red Bull official channels "Multiple senior figures [in F1] I've spoken to have expressed to me that there is discontentment with Adrian Newey and that he is certainly considering bringing his time at Red Bull to an end. I have been in touch via official channels with the Red Bull Team themselves and they have explained to me that they are unaware of any official communication from Adrian Newey notifying of his intention to serve notice and to leave Red Bull Racing with whom he has an association for pretty much almost the last 20 years." "His contractual situation is that he has contracted at Red Bull Racing until the end of 2025 and as I understand it would have to serve another year of gardening leave where Red Bull to holds him to the full extent of his contract which would mean he would not be able to work work for another Formula 1 team until 2027." "Red Bull are also unaware as I understand it of any formal approach from another Formula 1 team to Adrian Newey and the one or two individuals I've spoken to close to Newey have expressed to me that if he is seriously considering leaving, he has not made up his mind what future direction his career should take." View Quote I hope we get an official statement soon. |

Plot twist.
Red Bull used this story to find the internal leaker. |
