The most famous helmet in F1 history? Crazy that this is still around. $50-60K estimate.

If this report is accurate they claim Adrian Newey has formally turned in his resignation letter .

There has been so much BS in the press about this lately I won't believe it until I see him wearing a Ferrari shirt.

If he’s 65 now and has a ‘gardening leave’ you have to wonder if he will bother.

I wish Penske would get him to build the new Indy car. Full circle.

He’ll either go to Ferrari or take a year off and join Audi next year - Bob James Apr 2024 ��

I like this idea a lot.

As for the Newey situation, wow! Who could have predicted the flux at Red Bull?

2025 F1 should be a fascinating year. Hamilton at Ferrari, RB without Newey, and who knows what else might happen?

All this drama will get me to watch DTS.

It's official Newey leaving the team early 2025 .

Official he's leaving but not wear he's landing.

Although he was seen driving a new red car today.

On a non newey topic (won't matter much until 2026 unfortunately) here's a teaser of the Ferrari livery for Miami

This is looking bad for Horner, losing Newey and him being available to work elsewhere from march 2025 onwards, yikes... It may not be felt for a couple years at RB so Max may stay put and wait (they could probably coast on the current car and still be faster next year, but 2026 is another story).

Supposedly a few days ago Adrian Neweys wife was seen in Maranello house shopping . Is that true ? Who knows . But according to this article Ferrari team principal has started negotiations with AN . Is it true ? Time will tell 😁 .

Fred Vasseur enters talks with Adrian Newey https://lastwordonsports.com/motorsports/2024/05/01/f1-news-fred-vasseur-enters-talks-with-adrian-newey/

I don't think AN can start working for anyone in 2025 . They have stated he will leave early 2025 . But I have to think a one year " gardening leave " kicks in maybe longer . Of course anything can change with the right amount of $$$$$ .

Wow, that livery is extremely disappointing :mad: They were playing it up like they were going to do the blue & white livery from the 1962 USGP!

Lots of reporting this afternoon that AN will have no gardening leave.

Yeah it looks like AN has a very good lawyer . This article says his lawyer has worked a deal to eliminate the gardening leave contractual requirement .

Well done, Mr. Newey.

Looks like next year will be a lot more interesting than this year…

What I read on Planet F1 was that his tenure within the F1 team has basically come to an end and the rest of this year through mid-2025 will be his Gardening Leave.

A quote from the article: "While Newey will be seen at a few Grands Prix this season, including the Miami Grand Prix this weekend, his time at the F1 team, for all intents and purposes, has already come to an end as the next 12 months serve as his ‘gardening leave’ and set him up for freedom by mid-2025."
