similar topic but it's so funny to me when people are like "you can't ship these people one of them is the other's father figure!" as if wanting to fuck a father figure isn't the only joy left in this life

why wouldn’t the others want to work under a team owned by christian then if he’s already running the show right now. sorry it seems like my questions are a bit naive but does it really matter to the employees like that if he suddenly took shares, will they feel such a massive effect?? taking out his allegations of course cuz i find it hard to believe everyone in the team has suddenly found a moral compass

I feel like I'm missing context on this question. Are there employees expressing that they don't want him to own the team? Or are you talking about Newey who might or might not be leaving due to or not Horner being accused by their ex employee? Because the allegations and Horner wanting or not to own the team aren't the same thing. That would also be just the one employee.

+ Horner is not entirely running the show. He has to answer to the Red Bull GbmH owners and the people who've replaced Mateschitz.

what would be the benefit of owning a team. i mean if we’re to go by previous rumors of christian allegedly wanting to own red bull racing. hypothetically why would he want to do that. isn’t he one of the highest paid team principals. and if it’s power, he’s basically running the team as his own atm is he not? prestige, wasn’t he honored by the british parliament a few months ago?

Money

Newey also designed the Aston Martin Valkyrie which is a hybrid. Like you said, we don’t know the man, but typically I think engineers and designers relish any challenge thrown at them and don’t just want to work with what “they prefer”. I can’t imagine it’s possible to get to Newey’s level if that was his attitude.

I also just don't see why he would be bothered by an electric engine tbh

[vro0m]

as much as Newey is the lord of aero, would he like to work with the new regs? it’s what 50 % electrification right and maybe i’m looking at him as the old guy cuz of his love of 80s cars and stuff lol but i don’t see him particularly wanting to dabble with electric cars?

He said he likes reg changes as long as they allow some freedom. The cars have been partially electric for 15 years. I don't know him so I don't know what he prefers but if he had a problem with hybrid engines I think he'd have left already. So yeah I don't think the engines will be the decisive factor in his decision.

How are your anons sending you book chapters? I have like 3 big sentences before I get the character limit warning and some of yall write full essays! Can anyone help?

Huh? Never heard of a limit before? But well I guess I don't write lengthy asks lol

If someone knows something please tell us!

I believe Newey is contracted by red bull not an employee?? I’m not saying it’s not true but i’d be very surprised if he doesn’t have the power to control things like gardening leaves and stuff in his contracts. But maybe that’s me reaching idk

Honestly not my area of expertise but even if he is I don't see how or why that would make a difference? He still works for them and there can still be such clauses in his contract.

[vro0m]

You know what no one’s talking about?? if Red bull will keep perez without Newey. I don’t imagine they’ll decline immediately but there’ll definitely be effects(the grid might become closer firstly if Newey decides to go to another team) I know people try to downplay Newey’s involvement, ofcourse it’s a team effort but the thing about being the best is you’re also able to select the best/extract the best from the people around you. Hard as it is to believe atm, Mercedes has great engineers, I personally don’t think (and people can’t talk critically without someone saying you’re being a hater but i digress) Antonelli, however good he is will blow us away right off the bat. it’ll be great if he proves me wrong but everyone needs to be serious a bit. my point is if he goes to merc, Adrian would have great engineers with a guaranteed driver 1 and 2 which is imo the best recipe for success (some may disagree but i think so plus Newey loves a politics free, or as little involvement as he has to, environment and you get that in a 1-2 pairing). Red Bull will have only Max. Ferrari has momentum atm, he’ll again bring out the best from what they have going and they’ll have 2 great drivers in lewis and Charles. Again Red Bull will have only Max.

Red bull atm are not fighting anyone but themselves, their goal is to get as many 1-2 finishes as possible. Max dnfd in Australia and Perez couldn’t win the race. If Adrian decides to build a replica of RB20 for merc or Ferrari, red bull is going to have a problem with the current pairing. unless of course max leaves and they have to reshuffle everything, still perez is the one in the most danger.

(Now Adrian, I personally roll my eyes at location being a serious factor, if he really wants ferrari and vise versa, and that’s his problem, they’ll build him an office right there in UK, they did it before with John Barnard. Elkan broke the bank for Lewis, i’m sure he can search under the couch for some change to build that office… newey has allegedly turned down big Saudi money of Aston Martin so that’s not his problem, i think it’s all down to comfort to build and race his other cars, challenge/satisfaction for him, bring glory back to ferrari or prove yet again and again that you’re invincible when you go to merc and inevitably turn things around. And gardening leave, pshhhh, in the age of face time and virtual communication will adrian really sit for months with no “delete that front wing”. he may sit for a while with his boating and racing as he went to do some weeks ago with ferrari and i think Mclaren and decide “hang on i actually like not doing anything, I hate the traveling”. That’s why i think he’s retiring. if not, I’m leaning towards merc simply cuz)

P.S I think I should also add this is not me looking down on perez or something, I think Adrian likes Perez in his own way, just the way he liked Webber and webber couldn’t even drive his own car like Seb did. Heikki also couldn’t drive same car as lewis. Controversial maybe but imo, Daniel and Lando. Doesn’t mean these guys aren’t good drivers, it’s just easier for the public to dismiss drivers. Perez did well in force india. He’s a solid driver he’s just not in the right position imo. Wherever Newey goes, it’ll be Max following him and Perez being in danger.

I'm gonna be honest Anon I don't really see what Newey leaving or staying has to do with Pérez leaving or staying. If Newey moves he allegedly has to spend 1 year out before he can start working with another team and even then changes he could make wouldn't happen overnight so the potential effect on the grid of Newey potentially changing teams would take a looong while to manifest. And despite what you're saying gardening leave isn't something you can just otp out of to jump on zoom to work with another team. It's a legal matter.

I also don't think a driver 1vs2 type of management is politics free AT ALL + how do you know Newey likes a politics free environment??? Like I'll admit I'm not as well informed on the RedBull dynamics as I think I am on Merc but do we really know him like that? + I don't think he is as involved in the politics as some of you seem to think btw because he's. An engineer. He's not managing the team. He's not making the political decisions? Newey's opinion of the drivers is irrelevant.

Btw you're not talking about that here but I've received a few asks linking him to the supposed internal struggle between Marko and Horner but uhhh he's not at all on the same decisional level as these two guys. I've seen and read nothing that implies he wants anything to do with that battle except allegedly getting far away from it. This really has nothing to do with him tbh.

Anyway. RedBull won't only have Max? They'll have two drivers like everyone else. Even if one of them isn't as good as the other that's still two drivers.

Yeah idek how to answer this anymore it's just. You have a lot of opinions, I guess. Not too sure what they're based on to be really honest with you.

You guys are literally sending me essays over asks now 😭 several paragraphs and all, I have to focus when I check my inbox nowadays

[vro0m]

Oh fuck my life, Donald Trump is planning on going to the Miami GP 😬😬😬

People need to understand that you will see the takes from the people you follow and they'll reblog from the people they follow. I have also not seen that narrative because I don't follow a lot blogs that talk about brocedes and because I'll unfollow people if they takes are wrong/boring to me. Curate your dash loves!

That's why I keep saying you need to give me context when you send me asks because sometimes we think what we read on the internet is what everyone on the internet reads and it's not the case. I actually see brocedes content on my dash frequently but I still never saw anyone victimize Nico or anything about a possible apology or whatever, actually quite the opposite of that? I've mostly seen Nico demonized and blamed for the whole thing.

[vro0m]

Nahh it’s the constant victimization of Nico as this long and suffering ex husband and painting lewis as one who misses his Nico but is too arrogant to apologize just cuz he refuses to mention his name in public which to me looks like a boundary he’s setting. if it’s true that lewis apologized then why is that period still talked about like this. That’s how germans talk is not going to cut it everytime. Maybe you’ll say well Nico doesn’t have to accept the apology okay but where’s Nico’s own apology cuz if we really want to get into the blame game…

Whether or not it’s in Lewis’ nature or just his position, Lewis throughout his career hasn’t had the luxury of being a dirty racer and then he had to be that person. Lewis had his dick moments but there’s growth and reflection and while i wouldn’t argue that he still occasionally has dick moments he’s clearly outgrown that version.

Maybe I too watched that era through a biased lens but these are real people and now we’re blurring the lines between facts, one side’s stories and painting a full picture with fantasy and maybe that’s how hybrid fandoms work but i can’t help but wonder if people who romanticize (is that the right english word?) that period even like lewis.

Also Spinz, lewis’ actual friend whacks nico every 3-5 business days on his socials. I think it’s obvious where they stand lol

I'm very confused because I don't think I've ever seen this narrative around and you're talking about it like it's the most common thing lol I have no idea what you're talking about tbh

[vro0m]

all this talk around max potentially moving to mercedes and tbh even the talk around newey leaving could all just be rumors spread by the anti-horner side of the power struggle inside redbull to put pressure on horner.

I mean. I think the power struggle thing is a bit much but they are still rumours for now. And I will say again I'd be shocked if Max decided to leave now.

[vro0m]

The 2016 era.. it’s very irksome that even mercedes engineers said well Nico was the clever/more technical driver because he idk studied engineering but he never got to finish or something while lewis always gave layman feedback that wasn’t helpful in relation to nico being able to setup his car better at the beginning of the season over lewis. even with that narrative surely there’s a translator that can convey whatever lewis was trying to say. it’s said so much that even i started to think it might be cuz it seemed like lewis struggled with setting up the car (tho it may have just been him again throwing setups at the car as james vowels said until he felt comfortable and/or found the limit tho that also doesn’t jive with the whole one driver having a setup on friday and then whole thing being erased to the other driver’s setup is copied come quali).

off topic; people who talk about setups in the w15 as an excuse or something i think underestimate how much it impacts a driver but cuz lewis is a very good driver he’s able to compensate for losses of bad setups however now, with this unpredictable car, merc has sort of limited him.

I do have a lot of notes about this year lol. Obviously we don’t know lewis, no one really does, i’m seeing a lot of controversy about that pairing these days and i don’t want to enter that discussion at all or upset any fandom, you do you, but it’s a bit annoying how to this day nico and people believe that nico still knows the ins and outs of lewis. That was almost a decade ago, am watching it and you know how much lewis has grown from then?? obviously he knows him to an extent, somethings never change and Nico does chat a lot of shit and sometimes facts, he’s allowed to give his opinion on who he thinks lewis is but to pretend that using a 2016 lewis he’s able to give a correct assessment of a 40yr old lewis is just delusional imho.

Anon there's a lot of information here and I'm struggling to make sense of it tbh
