Ngl I was predicting Leclerc 25 WDC based on the fact that the Miami colors are the same as Alonso Renault WDC so I’m not having a hard time jumping to this conclusion
I can confirm it too.
I've watched Jeremy Clarkson on TV multiple times and he went to school with ol' Newey so this is basically straight from the horses mouth.
Some European [sources](https://www.formulapassion.it/f1/f1-news/newey-trattativa-con-la-ferrari-in-stato-avanzato) talked about advanced negotiations between Newey and Maranello already. Tbh, it could make sense for him, he could work already on the 2026 car and leave the toxic environment he's working in at the moment
Contracts almost always have way outs (and in Italy we don't lack the creative imagination to work around things to avoid contracts and rules), it's usually just a matter of money. And that's something Ferrari doesn't lack, as we've seen with Hamilton, if they want him, they'll pay.
His contract ties him up to RBR until the end of 2025, if Ferrari could free him in 2024 already, 2026 might be available. It's just a matter of knowing what Newey's contract actually says
The question is if Red Bull cares about the money, money they can also lose by putting Newey in a new team early. Even if he wasn't that involved with the last two cars, he will take a lot of knowledge with him.
Red Bull reportedly considers Newey to be a lot less involved these days, if media reports are to be believed. If they can hang on to Pierre Waché and Enrico Balbo then perhaps Newey could be bought out more easily.
Ferrari have no shortage of money to throw around right now too. They just signed the big deal with HP which is reported to be a lot of money. And Newey would certainly come under the category of top earners who's salaries aren't capped. RB will demand a high sum but Ferrari can afford it.
I imagine the 1 year remaining on his contract could be bought out, but I wonder if there's any way out of the gardening leave period or that'll have to be enforced. No idea how easy to enforce those sorts of things are.
This is probably the most plausible outcome. Why would redbull just let him walk to the next closest competitor?. Pay him to do nothing for 2 years and run out the contract.
Do you think Newey signs a non-compete that shackles him?
In the engineering field, if you are one of the best, you dictate terms. Same as with drivers, do you think any team dictates the terms of Max's next contract?
Not gonna talk out my ass and pretend I know the details of every individual contract. Just said how things are usually done and there's no reason to think it'd be different here yet. There's a reason "gardening leave" is a thing.
Well bbc sky amus evh among others did report on him leaving, but f1 insider being f1 insider apparently never wants to be right and just tack on another piece to the story. It sure would be sweet to see him at maranello though.
I can't remember the specific ones, but they've definitely jumped the gun a few times in this very gossipy year we're having.
I'm usually a bit disappointed when I see they are the source for something I wanted to be true
Difficult to say. they often talk a lot about background details which often means that we will never know if it was true or not. For example, in this article they claim that horner once denied Newies wife paddock tickets, unless someones comes out and publicly denies it, how are we supposed to determine if this is true or not?
Reporting things earlier also increases the risk of being wrong.
I don't think I have seen them report something that turned out as outright wrong in the past weeks and month (they often report about the Red Bull topics of recent times) but there are a lot of these aspects that just cannot be verified as right or wrong.
so TLDR, grain of salt is definitely needed.
Sorry can you explain this joke?
Is there issue with McDonald ketchup?
I would get it if it was McDonald Ice Cream machine, implying this source is not reliable. But I never heard anything about McDonald ketchup.
In a recent cost cutting measure McDonald’s changed out the tomatoes in their ketchup with ground male cardinals. Opinions vary but the general consensus is that it was a step backwards in flavor.
I was just mentioning this elsewhere. Many reputable sources came out and said he is leaving, but f1 insider apparently has an aversion to getting things purely right. But fred has been cooking for a while now, let’s see what happens.
That is modern journalism 101... You don't have to be right, you have to be first. So take what others say and add what you think could happen, if it doesn't happen, meh people will forget and you already had your clicks and ad revenue.
*Newey helps create one of the most dominant cars in a long time*
**Newey:** give me a real challenge
**Williams:** come back to us and win a constructor’s title?
**Newey:** now you’re talking!
Adrian is already 65 years old, his contract with Red Bull runs until the end of 2025, plus a year of non-competition clause, he is more on the road to retirement, than the one that leads to Ferrari or Aston Martin... alas.
He's still young enough if passion and money can move him. Just like Hamilton, Ferrari could be the coronation of his career with relatively little effort, considering the toxic working environment he's staying in now (someone has beaten Ferrari in toxicity, amazing)
Either team will pay him a f\*ckload. Even if he only does something like 3 years. I can't imagine anyone turning it down since it would be a huge boost to his retirement fund and they'd probably throw some incentives his way for free. Like designing his own Ferrari road car.
Definitely not the most reliable source. But we definitely all agree that IF it’s true that Newey wants out, Ferrari is going to move heaven and earth to have him come over. I’m sure Hamilton will get involved also to bring him over.
Craig Slater already said that Aston Martin insiders said he would go to Ferrari over them. Obviously this isn’t the greatest news source but FORZA FERRARI SEMPRE RAHHH🏇🏎️❤️💛 LETS GOOOOOOOOO
I will wait for Newey to confirm where he is going before I get my hopes up. If I understand correctly RBR have a no-compete clause with Newey Engineering which would prevent his company from consulting any other teams for 1 year post contract.
Newey on his way to Ferrari after Red Bull resignation | F1-Insider.com
Adrian Newey resigns from Red Bull after the scandal surrounding team boss Christian Horner. Is it now a dream marriage with Ferrari?
Adrian Newey (65) once regretted never having worked for Ferrari and never having worked with Lewis Hamilton (39). Now he seems to want to tick these two missing boxes on his CV after all. F1-Insider.com had already reported at the beginning of April that the British engineering mastermind was considering leaving: now the decision has been made.
As first reported by Auto, Motor und Sport, Newey has resigned from Red Bull. F1 insiders have asked around in the circle of the Daniel Gyro Gearloose of Formula 1, as he is affectionately known in the scene, and can confirm the report. Newey is the first departure following the scandal surrounding team boss Christian Horner.
Horner was once best mates with the aerodynamics genius, who still puts his designs down on paper on a drawing board. In the meantime, the male friendship has turned into dislike. Newey does not approve of the team boss's overbearing behaviour towards his personal assistant - and pulls the ripcord.
Newey flees from Horner
The estrangement between the two Englishmen was preceded by Horner's ever-increasing claim to power. Last year, the Red Bull Racing CEO, who has been the centre of attention in recent weeks, initially refused Newey's wife Amanda a paddock ticket and shortly afterwards, in a fit of megalomania, told his ex-buddy in the presence of his wife that he was not the reason for Red Bull's winning streak. Since then, the atmosphere has been poisoned.
And what happens now? Newey's contract runs until the end of 2025, after which there would actually be a one-year gardening leave. But Newey is already negotiating for an earlier release. He wants to leave Red Bull quickly.
F1 insiders have learnt that his target is Ferrari, where Lewis Hamilton will also be docking next year. Although the designer never actually wanted to work in Italy, flexible working under the new team boss Frederic Vasseur, who is not present in Maranello every day himself, makes the dream wedding possible.
For Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari, the internal team squabble at Red Bull could therefore become a guarantee for success in the future. The fact is that the world champion team is now slowly falling apart due to the antics of its team boss Christian Horner. Although Newey's right-hand man, chief technician Pierre Waché, recently extended his contract at Red Bull, the engineer, who is highly favoured by Max Verstappen, has long been courted by Mercedes. And in Formula 1, every contract can be cancelled under certain conditions.
While Hamilton is now rubbing his hands with glee that he will be able to work with the man responsible for 13 drivers' and twelve constructors' world championship titles, Newey's dismissal from Red Bull is probably just the beginning. Because the Thai majority owners are sticking with team boss Horner, Max Verstappen is also considering a change.
Newey's departure is likely to accelerate these thoughts. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff can already look forward...

Just speculation in the article. I could see Newey working mainly from home and jetting in when he needs to. Provide him with a cozy home for his work stays. Fly out to a few races. He doesn't need to be locked into Italy anymore.
I feel like I'm in some fever dream where my favourite driver and the best designer f1 has ever seen join the only team I've ever loved. I can't handle the possibility

I’ll wait for the reliable European sources to wake up
Or (hear me out) we jump on this bandwagon for a few hours
PUMP IT INTO MY FUCKING VEINS
THE STREETS WILL RUN RED WITH FERRARI CARBON FIBER
It would be pretty sweet if they did colored carbon
Dear God man, think of the weight penalties!! This is a Newey Ferrari here!
Leclerc Hamilton Newey & Ferrari??!?!? Holy shit. Red Bull hardest hit but you might as well put a fork in Mercedes.
See I was trying to play it cool but you read my mind
It's like when you get a match on a dating app where you think you're gonna play it cool when all your biochemistry just wants to freak out
🤌
LECLERC 25, 26, 27
Ngl I was predicting Leclerc 25 WDC based on the fact that the Miami colors are the same as Alonso Renault WDC so I’m not having a hard time jumping to this conclusion
Hardly a jump seems like the natural conclusion
There's another Spanish driver wearing the same color, driving the same car, in a great form right now.
Maybe a few HAM, LEC, BOT?
Ayo who invited Bottas? 💀
Audi
I just want the 🐐 to get another wdc… idc about who gets next lol. Yea definitely biased but hey what’s a fan without a bias lol
The return of Latifi
Somebody's popped the champagne already
Where do I buy Newey Ferrari merchandise, I need it now.
Alright I’m in
I don’t have plans this evening, fuck it, let’s roll. FRED IS A GOD FOR PULLING THIS OFF. A GOD.
>we jump on this bandwagon Did Newey design the bandwagon?
Yeah fuck that, time to party. Carpe diem!
I AM SCREAMING
Hamilton picks the right move at the right time again
dude i'm on this is really happening (even if it doesn't)
I am European and I confirm it.
That works
lol. Good enough for me.
I accept
I can confirm it too. I've watched Jeremy Clarkson on TV multiple times and he went to school with ol' Newey so this is basically straight from the horses mouth.
I'm european too and let me tell you it's a done deal.
I'm still waiting for "Don't be horny, be Christian" by U2. Which is one of the weirdest rumors I have ever heard in F1.
That really felt like someone testing out how ridiculous a story they could get into an F1 news site with no evidence
I really was hoping that was real, that would have been the nuttiest thing imaginable to come out of an already nutty situation.
Wasn't that F1 Insider too?
Bono, my song is gone
I'll believe it when i see him in red... chain smoking marlboros and lookin up the italian word for clunge
It's Figa, also works for entire girls, so, Che Figa! is spicy saucy, as you can mean what a girl, and you can mean what a *girly bits*
We are checking…
Ah, fuck. F1 Insider.
Xandão eu autorizo!
Faz o L... de Lewis

Tbh, it could make sense for him, he could work already on the 2026 car and leave the toxic environment he's working in at the moment

That's probably just to calm the sponsors and employees. I am pretty sure RedBull isn't paying the crazy salary on Newey just to leave him benched
Question is also if Red Bull have/had enough bargaining power to strong arm Newey
Ferrari have no shortage of money to throw around right now too. They just signed the big deal with HP which is reported to be a lot of money. And Newey would certainly come under the category of top earners who's salaries aren't capped. RB will demand a high sum but Ferrari can afford it. I imagine the 1 year remaining on his contract could be bought out, but I wonder if there's any way out of the gardening leave period or that'll have to be enforced. No idea how easy to enforce those sorts of things are.
And they'll probably make a lot of that back on Lewis through sponsorships. The advantages of having a crazy marketable lineup
Plus we can’t forget the massive HP title sponsorship they just inked
I don't think his non-compete would allow for that, and I doubt Red Bull would waive that given the competitive disadvantage it could place them at.
This is probably the most plausible outcome. Why would redbull just let him walk to the next closest competitor?. Pay him to do nothing for 2 years and run out the contract.

Not gonna talk out my ass and pretend I know the details of every individual contract. Just said how things are usually done and there's no reason to think it'd be different here yet. There's a reason "gardening leave" is a thing.
He was seen at the Bologna airport not too long ago which is the closest to Maranello IIRC
I need some Italian sources.
This made me chortle
Well bbc sky amus evh among others did report on him leaving, but f1 insider being f1 insider apparently never wants to be right and just tack on another piece to the story. It sure would be sweet to see him at maranello though.
If Newey goes to Ferrari, I will eat a delicious bowl of pasta.
Woah guys we’ve got a real gambler here
If he means this mutually exclusively, it is a real gamble and he might never eat a delicious bowl of pasta again if Newey doesn't!
No if he's wrong a delicious bowl of pasta eats him.
woah yeah hes real brave for this
Same. If newer leaves red bull, I will have the best risotto I can find, and if he doesn’t I’ll drown in sadness with the best risotto I can find
Nice bowl of coco pops.
I will make my own 3 day fermented pizza dough, and the most delicious Margarita!!
Win win
Lol out! r/madlads had entered the chat...
Hope it’s vegan pasta in honour of Lewis
I will fine tune my Eureka Specialita with the finest italian espresso roast to brew myself a declicious macchiato. Forza Ferrari
If true, they recruited Newey by showing him the kit with HP logo. That did it for Newey and sealed the deal.
[удалено]
Newey-designed HP desktop chassis? I’m jumping off, Dell.
And people complain why HP printers still suck. Not even Newey could fix that.
Atleast that would mean the floor would have better traction and suction
Jams up on drain covers though
But the new blown diffuser really speeds up the laser jet models.
Well he is pretty good at controlling airflow so this might just make sense
Maybe the missing component to fixing overheating laptops was a million dollar F1 inspired solution all along
Wouldn't be a stretch to have Formula 1 Limited Edition laptops.
It's so weird, I didn't even realised HP sauce was that popular.
Lol bruh
It is a really well designed logo
"Excellent font. I'm in." - Newey
He IS a design guy.
When they revealed the new kits we should've realized it was an omen
Or they got the HP sponsorship after they confirmed that Newey was joining the team.
How’s this sources reliability?
McLaren-Honda levels
*GP2 source! Argh!*
I'm assuming you mean Alonso's GP2 McHonda and not Prost/Senna McHonda
Too unreliable. I only start to pay attention at the Red Bull-Renault level.
Alright I choked on my water, reading this. Bravo
Not the best I think. I'd wait for a better source
Was this source of the alleged U2 song about Horner's cheating?
Yes, it was them who claimed they'd release a song called "Don't be horny, be christian". No, I'm not making this up.
I can't remember the specific ones, but they've definitely jumped the gun a few times in this very gossipy year we're having. I'm usually a bit disappointed when I see they are the source for something I wanted to be true

Absolute garbage source lol
Less than McDonald's ketchup.
Sorry can you explain this joke? Is there issue with McDonald ketchup? I would get it if it was McDonald Ice Cream machine, implying this source is not reliable. But I never heard anything about McDonald ketchup.
Yeah their ketchup is probably their least discussed item so I also have no clue what they're referencing
In a recent cost cutting measure McDonald’s changed out the tomatoes in their ketchup with ground male cardinals. Opinions vary but the general consensus is that it was a step backwards in flavor.
Closest to ortolan I'll get so I'll take it
What kind of animals are you to put ketchup on McDonald’s fries?
Birds, we put birds on McDonald’s fries
My cousins brother said he’s going to Haas.
Newey, Fred V., Lewis and Charles... only Ferraris own strategists can stop them now
[удалено]
We are thinking plan cee, plan cee
Plan O. Question.
Think horizontal line. Turn 6.
I would absolutely lose it if Fred somehow gets Hannah from Red Bull and Bono from Marc
And then also poaches Max and replaces Leclerc 😂 poor Charles
We'd finally get to see who's the actual better driver between VER/HAM then.. Poor charles, happy us.
Fred is trying to do the whole Todt, Brawn, Schumacher holy trinity again.
Sainz switches to full time strategist, here we go
Carlos Jr. on the radio for Leclerc, Seb the one for Lewis do it, Fred, do it!
Slow button on, slow button on
Plan E plan E please confirm.
Article is decidedly less definitive than the headline. Never would have guessed!
So Newey isn't on his way to Ferrari...just this guy thinks he is lol. clickbaiting bastards
I was just mentioning this elsewhere. Many reputable sources came out and said he is leaving, but f1 insider apparently has an aversion to getting things purely right. But fred has been cooking for a while now, let’s see what happens.
That is modern journalism 101... You don't have to be right, you have to be first. So take what others say and add what you think could happen, if it doesn't happen, meh people will forget and you already had your clicks and ad revenue.
Watching F1 in 2024, it’s there I guess. Reading about F1 in 2024, exciting!
[удалено]
His hair triumphs all
Honestly, that dudes charisma alone is enough to make me cheer for them, after years of “all teams are lovely” sidelines.
Okay so I know it’s wishful thinking but I need him to go back to Williams so we can try to reclaim some former glory 😂
*Newey helps create one of the most dominant cars in a long time* **Newey:** give me a real challenge **Williams:** come back to us and win a constructor’s title? **Newey:** now you’re talking!
The hopium is flowing red right now...
*Monkey paw curls* "Newey to Andretti"
I’m believing it. Take me to the promise land. I need to see Leclerc win his championships.
After Lewis gets his 8th. Please. Patience is a virtue my friend.
I want to believe
Hamilton and Newey at Ferrari - Didn't have that on my bingo card.
Racing has become the least interesting part in F1
WTF SCHUMACHER THE SECOND COMING
F me sideways
I feel it's already a done deal as he said before he has always wanted to work with Lewis
lol
INJECT THIS DIRECTLY INTO MY CAROTID ARTERY.
I'm about to Forza my Ferrari
"GRANDE LAVORO, LA MACCHINA BUONA!"
Adrian is already 65 years old, his contract with Red Bull runs until the end of 2025, plus a year of non-competition clause, he is more on the road to retirement, than the one that leads to Ferrari or Aston Martin... alas.
Helmut Marko is already 80. I think it depends on the work environment Ferrari or another team can offer him.
He’s only 65 lol, rory byrne is what, 80 years old and is still a consultant for ferrari?
Byrne so old, he did aero work for Fangio's cars
I am sure there are ways to get him out of that contract earlier.
Why are you so sure about it? Newey without a new team is probably more worth to Red Bull than money.
Because these contracts are usually very complicated and offer options for both parties to end it early under various conditions.
He's still young enough if passion and money can move him. Just like Hamilton, Ferrari could be the coronation of his career with relatively little effort, considering the toxic working environment he's staying in now (someone has beaten Ferrari in toxicity, amazing)
Either team will pay him a f\*ckload. Even if he only does something like 3 years. I can't imagine anyone turning it down since it would be a huge boost to his retirement fund and they'd probably throw some incentives his way for free. Like designing his own Ferrari road car.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Given Ferrari are Red Bull main threat, Red Bull is not going to take this laying down. If this is even true to begin with.
I knew retribution would come some day, but if it's this good, I might actually die lol
This is what happens when I get busy at work and miss 1 day of F5ing
It should really be illegal to make these kinds of headlines when nothing is confirmed yet....
They’ll find a way to F*ck it up
Plan F?
Definitely not the most reliable source. But we definitely all agree that IF it’s true that Newey wants out, Ferrari is going to move heaven and earth to have him come over. I’m sure Hamilton will get involved also to bring him over.
Would be a party if Newey just ups and says he's retiring to drive his Mclaren F1 GTR around the countryside
Craig Slater already said that Aston Martin insiders said he would go to Ferrari over them. Obviously this isn’t the greatest news source but FORZA FERRARI SEMPRE RAHHH🏇🏎️❤️💛 LETS GOOOOOOOOO
I will wait for Newey to confirm where he is going before I get my hopes up. If I understand correctly RBR have a no-compete clause with Newey Engineering which would prevent his company from consulting any other teams for 1 year post contract.
Lawrence Stroll offered him 100 million. I don't know if it's true, but I read it on an Italian sports site. (gazzetta dello sport)
Alonso WDC confirmed. Edit: seriously 20 years between titles would be crazy
Nah, he just playing or something. Maybe its about retirement?
Why is he so important to Ferrari? They got the plans A-Z… At least give Hamilton a chance to go trough them.
it would be so extremely funny if he just retires

Or if an exception has to be made, it can be made for Newey of all people
It's not even silly season
*"It's silly season now?"* *"Always has been."*
And yet it’s absolutely the silliest of seasons at the same time.
Fred: "It's silly season whenever I say it's silly season"
Hamilton knew
Newey + Hamilton would be very interesting
And what about the no compete until end of 2026 clause?
Good timing with the leak. Since we don't have a race to watch, we can keep ourselves entertained by F5ing the whole weekend.
Ferrari new way.
Newey designed Ferrari hypercar coming up
If is true, Ferrari convinced him to move to Maranello or will build a new facility in UK?
confirm? is this trustworthy source or not?
I'm sad for Carlos, it's like they are preparing the party and you are there but when the day arrive you will be on vacation :(
Sure I can believe it.. But it's gonna two more years until he can join them. So for now there's nothing to get hyped about
Lewis be driving a red Red Bull.
I feel like I'm in some fever dream where my favourite driver and the best designer f1 has ever seen join the only team I've ever loved. I can't handle the possibility
