They've unlisted the video for some reason, funnily enough.
As long as you have the link you can see it but it's unlisted.
looks like they still have quite a bit of work to be done in the next month if they dont want paint crews to be interrupting their work haha. nice facility though. i may apply for a janitorial job there to see if i cant get some inside knowledge of their future car updatesdiffuser wrote: ↑05 Aug 2024, 18:53f1universe wrote: ↑05 Aug 2024, 16:57As long as you have the link you can see it but it's unlisted.

If this is true then I believe Newey would find himself more at home at Aston Martin than any of the other choices. For all the talk that Lawrence Stroll could be a negative, in a way I see it differently - despite its differences and faults it reminds me of Mateschitz in embodying the figure of one man at the top who is extremely passionate. The lack of corporate shenanigans he'd have to deal with at Ferrari and which now after the death of Mateschitz have been appearing at Red Bull. I guess we'll have to see if he thinks the same...Watto wrote: ↑05 Aug 2024, 15:31I think a big reason Newey stayed at Red Bull so long was the lack of corporate culture he had in an interview somewhere about buillding out the engineering department if he wanted some new equipment or what ever you asked Mateschitz he asked for a business case to be make as long as he could justify the spend it got okayed. No boards to deal with penny pinching or things being done their way. As much I think newey had his times when le lost interest in F1 full time RB allowed him the time to work on other things and move in and out of F1 projects as he saw fit - no doubt he alway has a role. But was able to pick and choose. Now there is more a corporate look to RBR to deal with
i tend to agree. i dont even like speaking of it really. but aston is a little like redbull was in the 2000's. a team under new management, with not many prior ties to f1, willing to sink gobs of money into winning. im sure the brand new, "state of the art" factory, could be molded into whatever he wanted, as long as he is given the power to do it. seems like a pretty good destination from the outsideKimiRai wrote: ↑06 Aug 2024, 07:08If this is true then I believe Newey would find himself more at home at Aston Martin than any of the other choices.

Adrian Newey has made his choice: no Ferrari for him, he will go to daddy Stroll at Aston Martin. This news will become official in September.
Factors that, if accepted by Maranello, would have bypassed not only the team principal but also, in some ways, CEO Vigna as well. Something that eventually persuaded Vasseur (it is plausible to think with the assent of the ownership) to desist in what had probably already become a two-man bidding war (Ferrari and Aston Martin) after the other presumed players, e.g. McLaren and Mercedes, for one reason or another had defected almost immediately. In short, for the fourth time, Adrian would say no to Maranello's offers. Or rather, the two would not agree.
And, if things are as described by Corriere dello Sport and Autosprint, hard to totally blame the redhead. A brand like Maranello could hardly have tolerated such a broad delegation of power to Newey. And it fits. But someone else, including yours truly, thinks instead that, whatever the cost, such a brilliant and creative mind was worth any request, if you can call it that. Also because, and here there is really food for thought, we still do not know the "final" Ferrari organizational chart, with whom Cardile will be replaced and so on.
We imagine that the motto will be "the team counts." And let's hope they are right in Maranello, although reasoned concerns come, given these past few years, that this will be enough to attempt an assault on the world title. Not unimportant questions that cast an ominous shadow over the redhead's future years in F1. Elkann promised that the title would be won before reaching Ferrari's devastating historical fast, that is, the fateful 21 years (1979-2000). Some doubt (and doom and gloom) comes to Ferrari fans as they are just a handful of years away from breaking that ugly record.
The big and final "no" then, has arrived, because in all likelihood this will be Newey's last work experience before his golden retirement. That is, unless there is some other twist, at the present state of things highly unlikely if not impossible, between now and September. But as we know, reality often surpasses fantasy....

Also Szafnauer noted that Newey's impact on the 2026 car might be limited due to the timing of his departure from Red Bull.KimiRai wrote: ↑06 Aug 2024, 10:21And just like that... Newey has chosen Aston Martin apparently!

Fernando technically has contract until 2026 (we know how useless contracts are in modern f1 anyways
)
