​@@thedruggedzombietv I mean let's be honest, that's all F1 reporting is except during and two days after a race weekend.

My guess is Aston Martin, because it makes perfect sense: - Newey continues working with Honda. - A big money offer from Lawrence Stroll. - He doesn't have to relocate, since Silverstone is just 20 miles from Milton Keynes. - He has worked with Aston Martin before. - He'll be reunited with Dan Fallows, his old aero apprentice at RBR. This news also confirms to me that the 'Verstappen to Merc rumors' weren't totally made up. I mean, the Verstappen camp must've known about this sooner (or expected it in a way, hence Jos' comments.)

[@vomdeich1011]

It seems like there is something very off with the next gen RB powertrain development. Verstappen will follow to AM and Alonso become team principal after Krack left to Audi.

[@vojtechnovacek7776]

For a long time, even going back to McLaren days, his right hand has been Peter Prodromou who left RB to rejoin McLaren in 2014. I believe it was last March he was promoted to Technical Director and under him the team has quickly fixed their aero issues. So maybe Peter and Zak could persuade Newey to get one more title with the Woking squad?

[@FirestormX9]

Verstappen ain't going to Merc. He will retire from F1 entirely when he leaves Red Bull F1.

[@valecasini]

Didn't Newey refuse a contract proposal from Aston?

It is important as Newey did almost exclusively good career decisions (sort of anti-Alonso in this regard). He went to Indycar and gained amazing recognition and a lot of money leading March and Andretti's entry and then in the March/Layton House in F1. And because he decided to lead a small team rather than work his way up in a bigger team, he was quickly recognized as supertalent which allowed him to have the leverage in Williams and McLaren. Then he left at exactly the right time before McLaren fell apart. So with this track record, is Red Bull an actual ticking bomb about to blow???

[@mmd5730]

I feel like he is more likely to go Aston Martin than Ferrari as he doesn’t have to relocate or anything if he moves to Aston as it is 20 miles from the redbull team plus the Honda Aston partnership to

[@tedtheo7131]

Res bull started in 2004, which is noticably pre 2006

[@robertnowac8094]

Until Newey or someone from Red Bull says he's leaving, it's just rumor. I'm hearing that Newey is in talks with Red Bull. If Newey is leaving, it could be that he's done with F1 and is off to pursue his other interests in auto racing. I say that because Peter Windsor said he turned down a big offer from Aston.

Nobody expected 2024 would be the biggest for off-track drama

[@musculusiv4172]

Newey to AM, Verstappen to Merc, Sainz back to RB????

[@ora5799]

Newey moving is honestly bigger than lewis imo, putting aside the max implications. The cars he has built, the championships that he has been a part off the engineers he has mentored. The fact that everyone accepts that whichever team newey goes is immediately a championship favorite speaks to his impact people dont even think lewis will give ferrari a championship.

Would you be willing to move countries when you are close to retirement age? I don't think the world is that exciting to anyone at that age; he's done it all. When you get old, stability is key. The fact that the Aston Facility is within driving distance from his residence in the UK shouldn't be understated

[@AyyFuji]

If he does leave, I kinda want it to be into retirement, because just imagine, without Newey being the top car designer and aero god, could that be what brings everyone closer? Pipe dream obviously, but I'd kinda like that, rather than another team getting the king of air.

[@alicekoppenol-pitti6257]

I'll believe it when this is officially stated by Red Bull. These same " reliable " sources stated that Christian was going to be fired. Max would sign with Mercedes. Newey wasn't steering that ship, hadn't been for a while now. They were even willing to sidetrack him in favour of Pierre Wache due to the costcap. Aside from that, ground effect cars aren't going to be a thing anymore in 2026 because of the electrification of the new power units. Any team that signs him will have to wait until at least 2026 to fully commit to building a new car. Let's see if Newey is willing to exchange the politics of Red Bull for that of Ferrari or ultimately to Mercedes. Or he could retire and make South Africa his permanent home.

[@thebigmacmoomin]

Didn't Newey once say he wanted to design a Ferrari F1 car or a car for Lewis. Can't remember the quote.

Man I just love that Gran Turismo 3 music

[@arhamimam8547]

Aston Martin, Newey, Max, Alonso 🤯🤯🤯

[@savagedesigner2478]

Newey, Aston Martin Honda and Verstappen would be nasty

[@danielvilola]

I'm pretty sure he's going to retire if he leaves. He said he was thinking about retiring ages ago, and after so many years I feel like this RB car is a good place to call quits and end his career on top.

[@ZombieDeMierda]

Newey is going to Alonso Martin or Ferrari . Perhaps that's why Alonso will stay in AM

[@TheProSzymo]

i cant agree with Newey being the most gifted technical mind of the sport, I dont mean to say he is bad, but the contention for the GOAT has to be discussed including Colin Chapman, without whom the sport wouldnt look like today and IMO had bigger impact on it

[@ashaide]

It's amazing how this was linked to Horner again. When my PR ears heard that "source" for the BBC report was, I wanted to ask: who, the Dutch leadership of Red Bull that doesn't like Christian? Helmut Marko, maybe? Look, Adrian leaving could be for so many reasons. Why this dead horse of a news item keeps getting kicked is beyond me until my PR pro sense reminds me s3x sells and s3x scandals get the most engagement. The BBC doing a Daily Mail seems utterly strange, though.

If Audi aren’t stupid they are already on a flight from Ingolstadt to Milton Keynes with a suitcase full of money and a contract in hand.
