Maybe - though I suspect he would have to take a bunch of people with him for that to work. seems (I think) to enjoy that he can home in on a single element - was widely reported Newey worked on the RB18 suspension rather than the overall car design itself - think he enjoys RB allowing him the freedom to build a roadcar. Andretti with various different motorsports it may offer him that he can move between categories if he wantedBig Tea wrote: ↑07 Feb 2024, 03:41Here is one out of left field, and completly off topic, but if he feels strongly enough to leave Red Bull, how would he feel about having a look around Andretti's place? No preconceved system or hirearchy and he could probably set his own price and conditions, and if anything woud get GM fully on board and show FIA they are a serious contender it would be this.Watto wrote: ↑07 Feb 2024, 02:10I don't think it's a certainty.
It really depends on what Ferarri offer Newey if it were to get to get to that. I feel the appeal of RB is Adrian can do what he wants if he wants. Can head off help design the red bull road car and other projects. There have been times hes has really had almost nothing to do with the F1 team if he was burnt out or just uninterested - not sure Ferarri offer him the same freedom. If Horner was to go no doubt it would increase the chances of Newey leaving but it would be far from certain
Not that there is a grain of anyting pointing to it, but it is late in the year for anything to happen before next season now and all the players and designers are in place at all the estabilished teams.
D depending on the severity of Horners transgression ( ) if it is not proven, indicated or just not fair play, could they have the perfect launch pad for a new entitty. I dont think funding would ever be a problem if this should happen.
Not sure say Ferarri could really offer him that so easily having a radical design so far beyond a typical ferarri.
I don't think Horner going (if he does) is the issue itself for newey, its if the team becomes a political football or too corporate under someone elses leadership
