newey to audi?
If it's Ferrari, it's got to be the final stop for both him and Lewis.
As a Ferrari fan, I kind of want to see Ferrari succeed without him. I know you want the best people but I dunno, I'm keen to see Ferrari continue on their current path and trajectory.
I'd love to see him at Aston you know. Stick him with Fernando and Honda for 2026.

Fixed current car tyre deg,
Hamilton,

newey
did thanos join ferrari and start assembling the F1 infinity stones?
Lets be honest with ourselves... it would be peak Ferrari for them to get nigh on the best team possible and yet still completely fuck it up.
Wouldn't surprise me but they've seemingly been increasingly competent since Fred got there. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

I love that - regardless of the reasons for leaving - they throw in a connection to Horner's shit.
BBC say they have independently verified the German story - could all be from the same source though
this would be the most hilarious timeline and therefore also the best
is Sainz therefore Iron Man or Captain Marvel?

I would imagine it would have been part of the conversation when he talked with Fred.
I highly doubt Lewis would be like "oh well that's a complete surprise"
I doubt it's Ferrari anyway. Man's probably on a 2 year gardening leave or some shit.
Haas having year long tire issues is a cause of selective memory because everyone remembers that they had tire issues back in 2019. Tires weren't their biggest issue from 2020-2022. It just became that again in 2023.
And unlikely it is Hulks input that changed much. The Haas car follows the direction of the Ferrari car. When Ferrari fixed their tires issues this year, Haas did as well.
On a bigger note, let the Red Bull implosion begin. I'm so here for it.
Holy moly.
Damn this season has been silly season since Hamilton announced his movem
I imagine it has to be Ferrari right?

We don't know the contracts of course, but yeah presumably there'll be gardening leave and he'll only have a (limited) input on the 2026 car, at the earliest.
BBC is reporting he can negotiate an exit which will see him working at another team for next season.
BBC article:
I was surprised, too. The phrasing is interesting, I can't divine whether it's invoking that rumoured exit clause — that morality or conduct or whatever it was that was whispered about when the Horner accusation was blowing up.
Haha, that would be perfect in this whole insane saga. I remember insiders talking about how a lot of top Red Bull employees apperantly having weird exit clauses, so it's possible I guess.
Isn't it about time the EU banned non-competes? Can't let the Americans have all the socialist wins :P
Alonso committing to the new contract the other week out of nowhere and this happening now makes me think Newey is going to Aston for insane money.
OP

Can't imagine Newey wanting to make a car for someone so clearly far behind his team mate.
Was it out of nowhere though? Where else was he going to go? Toto seems hell bent on Antonelli and RB is unlikely to pair Alonso with Max.

Newey to Aston also means he gets tonwprk with Honda again who it would seem were receptive to his packaging requests. Have to wonder how well they'll do with the new unit as a lot of their engine staff went to RBPT I think after they "left".
To be fair, Alonsos options were limited. It was either Merc, RB, Aston or Audi. Each of the non Aston options are really easy to see why it either wouldn't appeal (audi likely being shit for a few years since its Sauber they are buying) or that the doors were not open in the first place.

Already starting to see the downplaying of Newey's contributions in corners online.
The same people who previously would say a departure of anyone else would have no effect on the team's success, because Newey himself was still there.
Schrödinger's engineering acumen, I guess.

Not unexpected for him to sign, but it's not really the time of the season we were expecting people to start tying down contracts. Of course if he just found out Newey was coming then he'd want to get signed up before say Sainz found out and offered his services.

Do it for your son, Alonso, Lawrence!
