Adrian Newey to Ferrari? Is it possible?
Discussion
He's moving away from the F1 team early next year and leaving RB completely once the RB17 track car program is completed. That'll keep him busy until 2026 then. If part of his reason for leaving is not liking how F1 is going I think he may well opt for retirement. He's made all the money, and certainly has nothing else to prove in F1.

I read the announcement as - leaves F1 now, develops the track car - leaves entirely Q1 2025…..Supersam83 said:

To me that seems like the statement of a man who is leaving F1, not moving teams.SpudLink said:

ks, so I wouldn't read anything much into the official RBR statements on the matter, in any regard.Assuming he does remain in the sport, I think we'll learn where he's moving to and when soon enough - and his interim work on completing the RB17 is a side issue really, he doesn't need to be 'in' the RBR F1 team to complete that, it's a commercial project.

Of course they are only going to say nice things about each other in this press release. They're hardly going to say he's leaving because of Horner's sticky fingers, or anything else that makes the team or those remaining in it look bad in any way.
Exactly, so not much point reading anything into any part of that statement, it's just PR fluff.SpudLink said:

Although this has been rumbling on and expected, still a surprise to see him off from Red Bull. Some serious questions how they’ve lost this asset.
Personally, I hope Ferrari entice him.
Ferrari F1 team principal Fred Vasseur has reportedly made a move to try and sign Adrian Newey from Red Bull.Personally, I hope Ferrari entice him.
Vasseur has started negotiations with Newey after delaying travelling to this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix in order to meet with the legendary car designer in London, according to Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport.
