3:36 So the staff claim that Newey had no impact in the 2024 car…. Yet he was the one that designed the suspension in the 2022 RB18 car which has largely remained unchanged for the past 3 seasons, and was quite fundamental in the Ground Effect regulations Make it make sense 🧐

[@JohnJonesRocketCity]

They cant.

[@Redlingstein]

No Pierre Wache and his team are the full time developers of the 2022/2023 and 2024 car. Newey was parttime consultant and focused on the suspension, as he himself said in 2022… Pierre Watch was ON THE PODIUM at the car launch this season as well.. Newey wasn’t THE designer, Newey had already said that himself several times these last seasons! In 2021 Horner already said that they were reorganizing the team for the time Newey would leave, Newe6 was mentoring young engineers, Wache got promotion… RBR was prepared for Newey leaving. He is 65… he was only parttime at RBR cos he was also designing for the Ocean Race sailing boat and working on the DREAM TRACK CAR FOR RED BULL, THE RB17. His special project, the track car without any regulations or restrictions….his dream project. And Newey had worked on the Valkyrie next to RBR racing team.

[@elta6241]

It doesn’t. There are a lot of egos in Formula 1 but the stone cold reality is the last time Newey took a real step back when he got sick of the lack of a competitive hybrid engine, Red Bull went backwards.

This may be a bit in the tin foil hat theory territory, but the point made about James Vowles making the Williams "family" appeal to Newey coupled with Claire's first appearance in the F1 paddock (in Miami) since the Dorilton buyout may be significant. It definitely doesn't feel like a coincidence...

[@leoa4c]

We need to remember that RBR keeping Newey within the organization for so long wasn't, necessarily, to take advantage of his services, but to deny such services to other teams. We've seen this before. For instance, when McLaren recruited Gordon Murray, there was a big element of simply denying his services to a rival team. Murray had a TD type role, but most of the actual blueprints and calculations where done by people like Neil Oatley, Steve Nichols, and Bob Bell.

[@1davejsutdave1]

Redbull has never had a win without Newey. He’s the common denominator lol and the first domino to fall. There’s a reason RB were able to take wins in the Merc era. It’s because they typically had great pace at slower circuits where PU gains were neutralized and aero played a larger role. RB and fans are in complete denial and drinking the PR damage control koolaid. Add Honda’s partnership exit? One word: Regression

But without the car a driver is nothing in f1.

[@optimusprime028]

If Newey is still that relevant to RB's success, I doubt they would've let him go. I'm leaning towards to the reports that he had little to no input on the current and 2026 car.

I can't see Williams being a serious option. Firstly because, well, they're not exactly going brilliantly right now. But also because he already worked with them for many years, and I'd imagine he wants to go somewhere new rather than try to relive past glories. Ferrari offers that. The other thing with Williams is that while they're a better and much more financially stable outfit now than they were a few years ago, turning them around and getting them back to the front is going to be a long-term project and Newey, at 65, probably isn't LOOKING for a long-term project.

Maybe Loggy can do something too with that calibre of a car, but who knows.

[@highexecutor]

Saying that Newey did have any input in the 2024 car isn’t really something to brag about, had had input in the 2021 car, and more importantly he had input in the 2022 which was the basis for this current RB dominant era. Maybe he didn’t had input in this year car but he certainly did with the one that was the mold for this current regulations

Now if only they can do something about that PU, bring back the noise of the stratospheric revving NA V8 Hybrids! Most of the PU makers are super car makers and they are going to be using synth fuels.

[@fix0the0spade]

@@anydaynow01 F1 definitely needs to do something about the noise. Either a lower revving (and thus growly) V8 hybrid or find a way to get the V6s revving closer to their actual rev limit and re-jig the turbos to absorb less of the noise.

I think the biggest effect will be on the driver market. Currently Red Bull have such car superiority that they can run with a second driver who would be bettered by half a dozen other drivers in equal machinery. The danger is that if Ferrari narrow the performance gap we could see Perez regularly being beaten into forth by the two Ferrari drivers. That would make the Constructors championship close, especially if the new powertrain has reliability issues.

I think Vasseur is one of the most important, but Ferrari, because of its resources has had huge potential. I am 75 and fully aware that the chances of me checking out at any time are much greater than a man of 50 and Newey looks much older than me. F1 drivers trained on what to say in press interviews and know how to answer questions. Can anyone picture a driver saying anything but "it would be amazing" or "a privilege" when asked about a new employee coming into management? I am not sold on Ferrari signing Hamilton, not that I doubt his abilities but who will be the #2?

Yeah...you're not wrong. Even if He goes to Ferrari and the Ferrari still keeps Ferrariing, not even a rocket engineer would help them. After all, we saw how things went for people driving for Ferrari ever since 2008.

Why would Newey ever go back to Williams? He has nothing to prove there 😂

[@redbullsauberpetronas]

Part ownership in the team being on offer

[@fallenshallrise]

@@redbullsauberpetronas Touché. I was going to say the same thing as above. Who are the teams we would say have no chance to get Newey. Renault are micro-managers, Merc and Audi are too corporate, he's been at the old McLaren, Haas doesn't have any facilities or the money to build anything that he designs. I would have put Williams on the "no chance" list as well but for ownership... that's a big deal. This would be a good move for Dollarton as well, raising the status of their team in the sport and it's value as surely their goal is to sell it off for a huge windfall after the next concorde agreement is signed.

[@anydaynow01]

He gets to design a car around a Merc PU, he will essentially be running the show, Vowles is a tech head like him, they have USA money, nostalgia in making Williams great again, reasons a plenty. They guy already has plenty of cash, I think the Williams project would be great. Though supervising the design of the car that brings the first WC to Ferrari after an almost two decade dry spell would be amazing also! 2026 is shaping up to be quite the interesting year!

[@seph9980]

I think you can confidently strike off Williams among the teams that could get him onboard. Unfortunately for them, they’re still very prt of Alisson’s team that disrespected him deeply. If anything, I reckon it’d be a battle between Ferrari vs Alpine to get him.

[@givemeabreak8784]

The only way he got a early exit is with no doubt a clause not to join any rivals team. F1 is a big business not a chip shop around the corner.

[@RaptorV1USA]

...not if he has "pertinent info" on certain management personell activities,... that might be of interest to external parties.. It's all about leverage.

[@askeladden450]

if he wanted to retire, he would have already announced so. He's not the type of guy to enjoy all these rumors and attention.

[@askeladden450]

@@andrewwright4195 well if he has gotten an early exit because he agreed to retire, that decision has already been made. And since he didnt announce it, such an agreement didnt happen. The only other reason for an early exit is if he wanted to join another team in time for 2026 regs. Hence he is still seriosuly considering joining a new f1 team, and will only retire if he doesnt find a good deal.

[@duncanbick6732]

I think Williams is the more likely destination than Ferrari. It’s a lot closer to his home (at 65, I doubt he’ll be up for a full relocation) and I doubt he’ll want to walk from one tough situation with internal politics to another.

I have no loyalty to teams…. So I am Now a Ferrari fan. I wish they would stick with the cherry red from 2022. That car was gorgeous

[@philtucker1224]

Williams is an interesting distraction as I could envisage Newey joining an ownership group along with Suzi Woolf, David Coulthard and Lewis Hamilton…( just a hunch)..🤔

[@51madmitch]

He is I believe 65 and has worked in a stressful position for years, money surely isn’t a factor as he earns £multi millions now, a year away would I think be a good option.

[@awdgsx415]

Why would Max even consider Mercedes they don't even have the 2nd nor 3rd fastest car on the grid 🤣😅😂.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

bc - Ferrari are now locked up. McLaren are now locked up. Could you HONESTLY see him sucking up to LS - and Audi won't do anything for three years - that's why. If it's not R-B - then maybe he does a Hamilton and move when it's not fashionable.. Or, he quits.

[@awdgsx415]

@@CosmicSeeker69 That still doesn't make sense, if for whatever reason next season Redbull are not so dominant then I can why it would make sense considering new engine regulations for 26. But from a competitive/performance side of it until Redbull start to not win races I don't see a reason to leave the team.

Word is, he's already turned Aston Martin down (which to be frank given who's in charge and who's basically keeping one of those seats forever at this point, I can't blame him).

[@CatsAndCode]

Last time Newey with Williams they actually had money that could compete with other teams. Now they obviously dont. You cant avoid the fact that Newey never designed a winning car for a team with very low resources(Only one case in history: Brown. And Newey wasnt involved). Maybe he would go to Williams bc of the challenge, But even with his huge influence they're a very limited
