Newey to Ferrari?

Also, if Newey is leaving over the allegations then holy shit what does he know that we don't? I mean we've all seen the messages with Horner's dick pick by now but what more is out there?

He probably just wants to be free of bs. Dude loves aerodynamics and F1. He doesn't have to be anywhere, he just wants to design cars without the politics.

maybe he just got the opportunity to change air. maybe what we know is all there is, but he wanted to leave and jumped on the train

He's going to Aston, and will make an amazing car around the Honda engine. This was El Plan all along.

With Lance strolls move or I'll fuck smash your car driving style I can't see why he wouldnt.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Come on you can't really think it is reasonable for Stroll to have to slow down just because the car in front of him is slowing down. That man has apexes to look at.

Adrian Newey loves designing cars. What better excuse to design new cars than to have the old ones become inoperable?

Wouldn't be surprised if he retires.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

If he was going to retire, that would be the story and it's not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, to me retirement seems like the most likely outcome if he leaves Red Bull.

Daddy Stroll 100% cutting a fat check to Newey. They already lined up Honda, got Alonso on board to mentor Lance... I think by 2028 the Stroll family will have successfully purchased Lance a championship.

Even if they get everything set and have a championship car. This is no way it will be able to drag Stroll into a championship. He will always be the number 2 driver on that team, unless they are dumb enough to sign someone like Sargent to the team.... Crap I cursed it didn't I. They are going to sign a bigger muppet than Stroll when Alonso retires.

Bold of you to assume Alonso would retire

Sir Lord Colonel Fernando Alonso DΓ­az the Greatest, Supreme Driver For Life

He'll get Jarno Trulli to hold up the field for Lance.

Pretty sure a hedge fund bought most of Aston Martin.

I see Ferrari as a legitimate option, especially with Fred being a savvy French strategist. The Hamilton deal was an incredible surprise.

However, I also envision him at Mercedes. Aston Martin is certainly in the mix, as Stroll invests heavily to build a successful team. But let's not overlook Toto's strategic moves and Mercedes' overall momentum, along with the potential wildcard of Newey at Aston Martin.
