    Adrian Newey once designed the Valkyrie for Aston Martin as a side project, showcasing his passion and creativity (and probably staying connected with them).

    While I’m skeptical about him accepting their offer, considering his legacy at Mercedes, Lewis moving to Ferrari was also once unimaginable too. There were rumors about Ferrari offering him a contract. Looking at his creative sideprojects, Aston and Ferrari seem to be the only realistic options he might consider.

      Likely coming out because of the instability at Red Hat. Newey doesn’t limit himself to just designing the car, he has an opinion on the entire team. So if a different team is better structured or could be better structured than Red Bull I could see him switching. At least, that’s what I noticed from his book.

        the instability at Red Hat

        I didn’t know Newey had such strong opinions on open-source licencing 😏

          It’s official, RHEL is the fastest distro!

          Newey to open source the Red Bull design under the GPL.
