Ok so silly season is supposed to be over the summer break where we all speculate about driver team moves and sit a aghast when Uncle Eddie makes his predictions. But the 2024 season has started off with silly season from day 1!
What's next? Albon shitting in a shoe and throwing it at Sainz?
Leaving it out for Danny Ric ๐๐คฎ
Looks like Newey to Ferrari is next, or so the rumors go.
I don't keep my ear close to the ground so this is the first I've seen this. That move would be spicy.
Don't think he will do it. https://www.sportskeeda.com/f1/news-with-adrian-newey-safe-ferrari-continues-target-key-red-bull-personnel-reports

Don't be silly ๐
Saw it today.
Why would a man a few years before retirement age switch jobs?
Newey has said he always wanted to design a Ferrari. He also has said that he wanted to work with Hamilton.
Kind of crazy that you judge when he should retire, I think he's 80. Well past retirement.
In any case, don't take the rumor mill too seriously. it's a circus, with clowns and high wire acts. Probably the reason I like it.
Tell you one thing, though, these Internal investigations are horseshit and all these matters with women are going to be judged in public. It won't leave until some people do.
WTF are you talking about? You're obiously confusing Helmut Maro with Adrian Newey. Newey is 65. UK pension age is 66.
Yeah sorry. Fact still remains that Newey will do what he wants to do no matter the age. Not only that but he can. I would look forward to seeing the Newey Ferrari street car, not that I could afford one.
Nobody forces you to retire. It just becomes (usually) more economical to stop working, kick back, and let the government give you free shit in return for votes.
If you're in demand, have the skills, and are willing to keep working like Newey then people will take the decision to keep going.
Plenty of old white dudes in F1.
I didn't write anything about forcing him out, neither am I "judging when he should retire", but everyone acting as if a guy in the mid-60s would want to set up an entire operation around him in a completely diffent country is just out of touch with the realities of being an older guy.
