Newey isn’’t the only one rumored to be leaving RedBull. Max Verstappen is reportedly in talks with Toto Wolff and Mercedes and has been offered a mega $150 million dollar deal.

Hahaha, everybody is wrong. Newey takes a break and will follow Max to his new team. I love it!
Apparently Newey will stop working on the F1 car effective immediately, so I wonder how soon his absence will start to impact their performance. Maybe as early as the final races of the season? Earlier? 2025? Not till 2026?
Probably not much until after 2026. They have a great team that have been working under Newey and we can imagine they’ve learned so much from him and how he thinks.
15:45 How did we get here? Well, Max is currently the best driver on the grid, so it's no surprise that every team wants him.
Not at all!
@@igaf1podcast wow, how so? I understand that people may not like him, but you cannot deny the fact that he is the best driver in the grid right now!
Not at all that you can’t deny he is the best on the grid. 😄 sorry for the confusion!
Just try to say Like as less as possible. That is already a huge win. And stops using "I donk know" . Nobody knows, but I like to hear you opinion. 😅
Thanks 👍🏼
Adrian Newey to VRB??? 😀. I'd actually like to see him go to Williams, I see it as a similar thing to how M. Schumacher went to Ferrari when they were struggling in the 90's and helped lift them back up to being the best, it'd be nice to see a guy like Newey help a struggling team get back to the front, but I know it's very unlikely. I think most likely he'd go to Mercedes, Ferrari, or Aston, maybe McLaren to finally get them back to the top. Personally, I think it would be a mistake to Stroll into Aston for obvious reasons, I'd question if a guy like Newey would be interested in dealing with all the political BS at Aston.
Nico was a good deal, not entirely surprising to sign an experienced driver like Nico to a new team, but I'll be surprised if their next signing isn't someone younger as a longer-term investment. I think Carlos best bet is RB if Max leaves, or maybe he could be a replacement for Perez if he can't sustain his current performance level.
Edit: Actually, I'll add one more note. If I was Liam Lawson I'd be making sure my manager is talking to Audi. Right now he's warming a seat in the garage waiting for someone else to fail so he can get in a car. A young talent like that could be exactly what Audi want for the second seat in their team.
If Lance wasn’t there he might actually consider AM and be able to work with Fernando but feel like that could be the 1 thing stopping him from going there. For sure it would be interesting to see him try and get another team to the top, even though he would just be ONE of the (major) pieces.
Yes, Hopefully Liam has a backup plan with another team just in case!
He had his time at Williams
Max is a Dutch ordinary guy, he is always honest and says what he thinks. Not everyone can appreciate this.
He is a real driver who doesn't care about celebrities etc. He arrives at the paddock with his backpack puts on his overalls and goes racing.
When he is at home he goes sim racing, there he is also among the best top three in the world. He doesn't care about fashion or anything.
Yes, sometimes he gets booed, but then says "go home and have a nice evening with your self," whatever that means....
We love that about him!
@@igaf1podcast An informative podcast with you👌
At Neweys' age, I would hope to see him focus on his other interests. He has a love for boating, and he still does racing himself. I think his best choice is retirement from F1.
There’s still that possibility as well! Allison is really hoping for Ferrari. 😆
