Christian Horner says Adrian Newey is “not leaving the company, but stepping aside from Formula 1”, and “it’s been something that we’ve been having to plan for”.
Lewis was asked about the chances of Ferrari signing Newey, whether Mercedes should try to sign him, and if Newey was a part of his Ferrari negotiations.
Lewis Hamilton was asked how he’s dealing with the ‘awkwardness’ of being asked about Ferrari and asked to sign Ferrari caps, while he’s still with Mercedes.
Marko says Newey’s departure is “a big loss”, and adds whenever a big regulations change came “it was usually Adrian who was the first to understand it optimally”.
