    With all this mess at Red Bull (power struggle, Horner’s escapade, Newey leaving, Max probably leaving soonish) i really wonder if Ford still wants to work together with Red Bull.

      Well Ford was very unhappy with how the Horner investigation went. But in the end they’d just put their logo on a RB engine anyways, so it’s not like they’re closely working together or somerhing.

      Newey leaving

      In his book he mentions that the team is really important. He wants to have the ability to be able to determine how a team works. Ensure that people can speak up, not too much politics, etc.

      Pretty sure the power struggles together with Honer resulted in Newey deciding this will impact making a good car.

      He left a team ages ago because they didn’t inform him about some driver thing. Him leaving now should not come as a surprise.
