Gene can't afford him or not willing to spend money on him.

​@@mixswist Let's just say he gets 20 Million per year, which is twice as much as he got from Red Bull iirc. That's the best bang-for-the-buck that Gene could get. Who knows, maybe he gets some real sponsors with that deal alone.

@@jgb7215 thats why i believe he is going to retire, starting a new project would mean a couple of years more of the ratrace that is doing, why would you buy a yacht? In an interview with the yachtbuilder ( its on youtube ) he also hinted towards retirering, and that being one of the reasons for him to start the yachtbuild.

That’s what I understood too. He was to do other stuff. Like not F1. I guess there is a lot of money on the table, so tempting I presume. We all knew that RB would fall apart after Mateschitz died. To much money involved.

Yeah fantasyland

Next is to probably get GP & Bono as the two race engineers with maybe McLaren pit-stop team.

Max would be next.

My Head: Ferrari (makes way more sense) My Heart: Aston Martin!

If he is smart, he would go to Ferrari instead of AM

My Head: Aston Martin if he don't want to move to Italy. My Heart: Scuderia Ferrari.

He already turned down a very high bid of Aston Martin.

AM isn't a serious proposition as long as they have Stroll as a driver and say things like the team being built around Stroll.

Well sadly is. 6 times more drama than actual racing from the whole 2023 to 2024 COMBINED.😂

It's not a sabbatical, it's a non-compete clause. He will still be nominally employed by Red Bull, but is not allowed to see any new information or work on any competitors car until that clause has expired, at which point any insider information he has will be at least a year out of date and not helpful to rivals.

It's called gardening leave everywhere.

@@mrebear9758 it’s not and you’re wrong but that’s ok

@@mrebear9758 Have you been everywhere? It's not. In fact, I've only ever heard the phrase in F1.

@GloomGaiGar I've worked in London, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney. It's a standard phrase when dealing with executive restraints across the English speaking world. If you haven't heard of it, that's fine, but you probably aren't dealing with executive contracts. There are many other phrases which are universally used in a commercial context such as golden parachutes, poison pills etc. Just because you aren't familiar with them doesn't mean that they aren't standard terminology for those in the industry.

Yeah plus i guarentee they offered him head top position and power. They offered him a vinyard in 00s im.pretty sure b4 he sogned for RBR

He doesn't have gardening leave. He is essentially serving it now and is a free agent in 2025.

Why he doesnt have that,​@@kityhawk2000

Merc fan here. Hope he goes to Ferrari. The Ferrari fans have waited long enough.

Retirement is a funny way of saying "Lawrence Stroll's mountain of cash" but ok

I feel like it's either one last dance with Ferrari to end of his career & legacy or Retirement

I don't think he is going to. He would love to work with Ferrari , it's that lure of the Scuderia will be too good of a chance to reject for a motorsport fan like him. He won't be there for long but ticking that box would mean he has done everything a motorsport fan dreams of.

If you know engineers like him they never retire no matter how old they get. Once an engineer, always an engineer.

I would get rid of Lance as a driver, have him as a test driver because he's actually a quite good data collector, hire Adrian and Max to drive alongside Alonso for 2026, they will have Honda onboard by then.

Well, considering how much Lawrence likes his son (a no-brainer) asking for him to fire his son wouldn't take him far. 😄

Boring

Who old Alonso rather rather have as a partner Stroll or Verstappen?

and bring Max with him.....

what’s it mean? Has he left RB and he’s gardening 😂 until 2025? Is that the deal?

When the Horner scandal broke my first thought was he has to go NOW or all hell will break loose. What an idiot.

Wondering what term do you Americans use? Just wondering.

@@SpeedingSuspect We have some contracts that dictate a non-compete period or a waiting period before a person can work in a given field or a certain geographical area, but it’s almost always after a contract is up and employment has officially ended.

Not much of a dynasty. Hamilton is there for 3 years maximum and Newey wont work for more than 5 years.

Or Max stays with red bull raking in victories and championships. And when the 2026 red bull proves to be disappointing, he replaces Lewis at ferrari in 2027. Driving a Adrian Newey car again. Not probable, but possible.

@@robertaugustijn1157 And in the next 100 years Ferrari will never get a talented driver into their academy. They had one in the last 20 years and when he is finally getting a strong car they screw him over with a teammate that had 5 or 7 WC? Poor Charles

Americans like you need to realize there are other parts of the world other than you guys.

@jkliao6486 I'm not American, Andretti is known around the world, and Newey probably isn't after money at the age he is

first they have to actually join F1 mate

I don't think he'll wait for a team that wasn't even approved to join F1 yet.

If that was the case he would not have left in the middle of the season.

Hes not leaving F1. He renegotiated his contract so he doesn't have to serve gardening leave and is free to join a new team at the start of 2025. There is no reason to do that unless hes joining another F1 team

As usual!

i think he is retiring too. given the fact that the firsts news of the new reg basically say the cars suck, he rather retire with a good legacy

Also quite likely, with a side of he returns in 2028 to save F1... by making a car twelve seconds a lap faster than Max in a privateer Newey he drives himself.

I'd say America's Cup but it looks like they've been adding rules which is probably disappointing.

Hes not leaving. He renegotiated his contract so he doesn't have to do gardening leave and is free to join a new team in 25. Theres no reason to do that if he's retiring

Can you imagine max and Stroll being teammates? Lol

@@mattg9971 "You forget that this is british media and the are trying as hard as possible to wish redbulls down fall into existence" This is literally what you said. If by that you did not mean "They try to wish Red Bull's downfall because they are british" then you've got to clear up what you mean. Now sure, Tommy being a Verstappen fan is maybe not my best point considering this concerns RB as a whole, but what I'm trying to say is basically that you're just making stuff up (Matt and Tommy having british bias) for no good reason. It's just really dishonest to tie them to other, more biased british media just because they themselves are british. People can support other people despite being from different nationalities, believe it or not. As far as I can tell, they are just trying to get clicks through a clickbaity title which is a whole different topic, but it has nothing to do with their nationality. Hope this clears it up.

The italian GDS just confirmed the resignation of Newey and resolution of the contract prior 2025. Also, it reported, that Vasseur did not travel with the team directly to Miami but made a stop over in London. Guess why..... I assume we will hear more official statements from Miami....

You are correct. Its a british thing....

@@gameofender4463probably nou since he's not the only aero engineer. 2026 is all open but 2025 is pretty much set unless another team finds something amazing.

Retirement is a real possibility, but you can bet Ferrari is coming with an offer. How hard is it going to be to say no to that?

A few years at Aston for a massive check would setup him and his family for a lovely retirement. Retiring for many people is also a death knell. People get bored and depressed. Taking on advisory roles with less physical and travel demands are a perfect way for Type-A people to sunset.

You never know, I would lean towards not. Many with that level of excellence are obsessed with the process, and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody like him stays in well into his 70's. See it with coaches in other sports plenty

As long as there is a Stroll as Boss there will be a Stroll as a „driver“

Imagine Alonso being given a title contender car only for Lawrence to put Max as his teammate. 😂
