Im a bit confused why so many people think Newey is basically already in Maranello š I mean heās still got a contract until the end of 25 and apparently after that a year of Garden leave. Heās 65 years old already turning 66 at the end of this year. RedBull has enough money so why would they let him go. Chances are - if they decide to keep him in his contract - that he maybe wouldnāt start a job at a new team as a 68 year old š¤
To be honest I wouldnāt be surprised either way, if he retired or if he went to another team/Ferrari.
As you said he isnāt available for any team until 2027, there is a chance that he could get bought out of his contract, but even then he wouldnāt be available before the 2026 season, plus I think he has his retirement plan sorted

But also in his book (which is incredible by the way) he expresses that he would have liked to work with Ferrari and he would have also liked to work with Alonso and Hamilton, and has regrets about not doing that. This is also something he has reiterated in interviews since then.
Also itās possible that he could work for a team in a consultancy position, where he gets paid large sums of money but still has free time to get involved in other things that interest him or time to sail his yacht.
I donāt think heād ever be someone who wholly leaves the sport, I think heād stay around either as a consultant to a team or potentially even work with the FIA to write the regs
