Well I guess the highly anticipated blue Ferrari is a bust. It's just gonna be a red car with blue accents.

Red with blue accents looks like shite on a car.

Ferrari chose poorly.

The Team announces that Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey will leave the Red Bull Technology Group in the first quarter of 2025.

The engineering supremo will step back from Formula 1 design duties to focus on final development and delivery of Red Bull’s first hypercar, the hugely anticipated RB17.

He will remain involved in and committed to this exciting project until its completion.

We’d like to thank Adrian for our achievements in the time that we have worked together so far. He has been instrumental for us in achieving a remarkable seven Formula One Drivers’ and six Constructors’ Championship titles - totalling 118 victories and 101 poles including the STR 2007 pole and victory.




Sounds like he's staying with Red Bull, just leaving the F1 program.

Yeah, but what is due date on that hypercar?

Either way, I'd imagine Max is considering that 150m offer from Merc.

Start production in late 2025, first delivery in 2026. 50 cars built in total.

Very very very late in the game for 2026, but still a chance for him to jump to a team prior to 2026.

Car would be baked by that time though.

I think people are misunderstanding the timings. This is my understanding:

1. Newey is leaving the F1 program effective immediately, but will still attend races.
2. His sole job is to finish the hypercar.
3. He will leave Red Bull completely some time in the 1st quarter 2025.
4. No gardening leave.

So he'll be able to join another F1 team at the latest April 1, 2025. He'll have time to influence his new team's 2026 design.

It's even less blue than I was expecting after the sneak peek.

The drivers' helmets and suits will be the bluest part of the special 70th anniversary livery.

I think it looks awesome. I liked the light blue when McLaren used it as well though, so I’m biased.

Didn't see anything about the gardening leave anywhere either, I'm guessing it is almost starts right now while he is working on the hypercar for F1 purposes.

If he is available to join any team in Q2 2025, he will be able to definitely help build the car for the 2026 regs.

This “blue” Ferrari is a let down. They’ve been hyping this up for almost two weeks only to roll out the same red car but with blue wheel caps.

My RedBull fan boi coping mechanism is to tell myself the next set of reg changes will make cars engine dominant so Newey won't be as important. No further questions at this time.

I hate everything about Miami having a race. I hope it ends in the next year or two. Give one back to Europe instead. Keep Vegas and Austin and call it a day.
