If the WEC came up with a decent superlight class; for proper cars, not Trabants; I think Adrian may be interested. Audi oilers, or batteries, not so much! |

Adian Newey to leave F1 at the end of 2014?
Looks like the answer to my question is, no. Adrian Newey will not be leaving F1 at the end of 2014.
Newey had previously assured that he will end his F1 career at Red Bull Racing. And has publicly said so. Back in late October last year, when I started this thread, I had heard from very reliable sources that Adrian Newey was having thoughts of - and could be planning on leaving Red Bull Racing at the end of 2014. This led me to the question if he would be leaving F1 altogether at the end of 2014. But it has been reported in the media recently that a switch to Ferrari could be on the cards. Although - it must be said, as of today, Adrian Newey has no definitive F1 contract for 2014. He is yet to commit to Red Bull, or any another team in F1 for next year. No doubt in the next couple of months we would be able to get a definitive answer to the question I put in the thread title. Meanwhile, Ted Kravitz from Sky Sports F1 interviewed Horner and Mattiacci from the Monaco paddock yesterday. Interesting replies. |

I liked Mattiacci statement that he did not have a shopping list as they already had the best people in place.
A refreshing change at Ferrari! Perhaps he will be better than expected and will indeed have the skills necessary to spur Ferrari on to better things! |

Was that a slip up at 1:19 by Mattiacci when he said "yes", but then went on to clarify he wasn't the man making any offers to Newey?

I've merged the two threads about Newey's future.

Question. What would stop Adrian Newey from going to Ferrari? Or to put it another way - why wouldn't he go to Ferrari?

What if Newey was offered total control and freedom? A no questions asked freedom to lead and let create?
Which is exactly what he has at RBR now. I'm sure Newey is aware of the politics and red tape involved when working for Ferrari. So if he was to be assured full control of his team, that would be a mighty big piece of the cake for him to digest. And I'm sure Ferrari would know what Adrian Newey needs to create a winning chassis. And would offer him exactly what he requires. Last edited by 321Go; 27 May 2014 at 12:42.

It seems that Mercedes also made an offer to Newey. How many tech heads does a team need?
http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns28121.html Although if you had Newey on board I suspect some of them would have gone gardening. |

James Allen seems to think there'd be no issues with Adrian Newey going to Ferrari. As long as he is given free rein.
I think given free rein, Adrian would be happy to go. There is absolutely nothing else that would stop him, or get in the way anymore. |

How about a Ferrari swoop for Newey, Horner and Vettel...?

As James Allen's excellent piece suggests, the current culture of fear of failure coupled with impossible deadlines has led to a very conservative approach. |

As I tried to explain in another post, this is exactly why Domenicali exited. He was not allowed to do things he wanted to, and had one hand tied behind his back with expectations from others of winning the impossible fight.
Alonso has been credited by some for Stefano's exit. But Alonso is also frustrated with what was happening above and beyond Domenicali'. Not Domenicali. And Alonso too will soon walk out of the team. |

Easy to sign off formally on "free reign" for Newey.
But in practice when that volcano of politics erupts in Ferrari and in Italy he may very well find himself submerged in a lava of media hysteria Pompeii style. |

Have an update. Adrian Newey will be staying with Red Bull with a new "multi-year" agreement. Official announcement.
Interesting to note the agreement is for Newey to be in a advisory role to the F1 team. |

Autosport are carrying this,
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/114345 The first two lines of the article are interesting in themselves. ''Adrian Newey has signed a new contract with Red Bull, but he will step away from his day-to-day involvement with the Formula 1 team to work on other projects.'' |

Very shrewd move by Mateschitz and his advisors; if we can't have Newey, we'll make damn sure that nobody else will either. Newey has an incurable itch to design (and build) an America's Cup racing yacht for many years (this was why he originally wanted to leave McLaren, before he was poached by Red Bull). It is not beyond the realm,s of possibility that he has been offered the opportunity to design one for a Red Bull sponsored Team Austria as one of the "projects".
Whatever, the way that I read it is that he had decided to leave Red Bull Racing, for whatever reason, contrary to what others on here have said, and this will stop him joining any of their rivals. As I say, shrewd! |
