Or it could be a lasting legacy of designing a car so good even Lance can't stuff it up
You couldn't make it up, oh someone just did.
Allegations, not antics.
Still Andrian was really only part time and was working on alternative projects, which he might be happy to still do in semi retirement.
I actually wasn't referring to that part of the post but the speculation that somehow Lewis 'knew' something..Newey has confirmed to multiple reputable sources that Horner's Horny Happenings have had an important influence on his exit. It's not being made up.
I can see him retiring and/ or part time work for FIA working on next big reg change. I think he'd enjoy seeing how teams would interpret his ideas.

However most of the media I've read states ""senior figures close to Newey have been telling me. He has communicated informally with some senior Red Bull figures that he would like to leave the team.".
Yeah RB needs to get their KC on the case, totally unbiased.Dudes probably just looking to retire.
Red Bull have said no formal notication has been made...so who's stirring the pot now?
Not saying he won't leave but press are making out he's jumping ship tomorrow.
Right, this might sound like I'm an idiot (I'm sure someone will tell me) but hear me out, how much can one man change a team?
I'm not discounting the justifiably high praise from his career so far but with the money and talent that's thrown at F1 teams these days there can't be much 'aero theory' that he knows that his counterparts at other teams don't. What is different is potentially the teams appetite for risk and the belief in a new aero approach e.g. Merc trying the different philosophy but not pulling it off Vs Red Bull achieving theirs.
Say Ferrari 'got' him, then what? He's not going to come in and say have you thought about 15 new wings and a lopsided side pod configuration that'll magically knock 5 seconds off your lap time? It's more the work ethic he instills in the people around him and the boldness to make radical changes he has / is given that changes a car. Any team could do that with or without him given the right person in the roll in my mind.
Obviously far easier said than done I just don't believe that him going to any team means instant or even sort term future success.
Would certainly be an interesting twist! One I might even tune in to see. Sadly I reckon he's more likely to call it a day than that. Will be happy to be wrong though.Hmmm a no compete until 2027. Newey to Andretti
(Way off base I know but worth a punt!)
