I would believe Newey's hype if he can go to another team and replicate the current domination of Red Bull. Otherwise, you might be on to something!

Why do you think it is about power? I think this is just wrong. I do not want to defend Horner, but if I am thinking about his position, this is not comfy:organic wrote: ↑25 Apr 2024, 23:33I think it seems more likely that the Horner-Newey relationship going cold has caused this.
There was that interview with Horner in February where he was playing down newey's influence and saying that he didn't do much on the rb19 and rb20. And that more credit should go to Balbo and Waché. While it may be true and the other technical heads of RB go unsung, it felt strange given how instrumental Newey has been for the team. It just felt like the knives were out.
In my opinion, Horner wanted to manoeuvre Newey out of power, just like he tried to do with Marko. Verstappen played the trump card when it came to Marko so Horner had to back down there.
Maybe he goes to Ferrari, but I don't think that's a foregone conclusion.
As for technical structure within RB, there is now scope to promote both Waché and Balbo to CTO/TD respectively both of whom Ferrari have desperately been trying to poach. Maybe this was the grand scheme for Horner.
It's shameful he's willing to damage the team so much to consolidate power.
Newey was actually only employed because they didn't know who else would take all the free energy drink cans.
From some inside info + the public info my best guess was that Marko decided to stay foe now during talks in Saudi Arabia to give time for things to fall in their place. Clearly Newey was torn for a while, having decided to leave only this week. With him gone, 2026 PU reportedly in a lot of trouble (which is also hinted by Max and Horner independently) there is no reason for Max to stay honestly.chrstphrln wrote: ↑26 Apr 2024, 11:29Yes, if it hadn't all been so predictable due to Horner and his behaviour...
Max will be next.
Nothing, but Newey knows that mercedes still has and will have best engine 2026+ as well.. But maybe he want to take new challenge in Ferrari or Aston

Here you can read the MS article with the quotes from the Tweets. Amanda, Newey's wife replied.

It mentions "insiders" in the piece you linked. That suggest more than just Horner.Wouter wrote: ↑26 Apr 2024, 10:55.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑26 Apr 2024, 10:34
So Red Bull insiders are saying Newey isn't important to their success? No reason to stop him going elsewhere in that case.
Or is someone saying things about him because they're angry he's leaving?
No, Horner said it few months ago.
Coffee boy? Ah that's why Red Bull's catering budget was so high a few years ago...

I can't find it. Where do you read the word "insiders"?
