Logan Sargent on Good Morning America in the US this morning playing with RC Cars on a fold up track in studio doing PR for Miami.

He looks uncomfortable in an F1 car as well.
Probably would take up space that could be used for the computers/sensors.
I just can't think of anything more dull, sterile and so far removed from the essence of what motor racing really is. Watching the best drivers in the World compete, taking calulated risks and demonstrating the limits of human abilities behind the wheel, that is appealing. I know F1 is no longer pure racing like road racing still is as its too safe, but still, its the pinnacle of single seater motorsport and I sincerely hope AI simulated track racing dies a death very quickly indeed.
They are standard Super Formula cars from Dallara with the autonomous bits added on.
It has its place as an engineering contest, though it probably won't ever draw large crowds. I really don't see F1 as a competition between drivers though either. It too is just teams competing over who built the fastest cars.

I'm leaning towards his retirement from F1.

A full update on Adrian Newey's future is expected soon following reports that he wants to leave the Red Bull F1 team.

I’m thinking that is a likely outcome too. He’s 65 years old, a very wealthy man and has had an amazing career in F1. He’s got nothing left to win or prove and should probably enjoy the rest of his life with his family, rather than travelling around the world in the F1 circus. It also suggests there is a culture within Red Bull of late that isn’t very pleasant and he’s likely keen to get the hell out of there.
I was watching a documentary a few months ago on the design and construction of his 27’ Oyster Sailing Yacht. It was due to be delivered in 2024. 😉😉
Quite an amazing vessel. Not a huge sail fan, however Oyster builds exceptional Sailing Yachts in Southampton.
This one?
And when he has the option it would be tempting to walk away from all the unpleasant parts of his job.

Hmmm a culture that is created outside of Red Bull. Just like the situation surrounding Horner, and the wild wild stories surrounding Newey, and the vilification of super Max. Perpetuated by many, even when there are no facts. Just like what you are doing here.

He has been involved in several sailing projects over the years so maybe that’ll be his full time hobby. Some of the best yachts in the world are built on the south coast. I visited Sunseeker a few years ago with work, very impressive design and engineering.
That would be a decent option for Carlos but all depends on Lawrence and if the pressure he has from shareholders is firm enough to axe Lance. It must reach a point where enough is enough. Carlos is a solid driver and will return a consistent number of points and Aston Martin need those points very much. Fernando would probably appreciate the push from a competitive teammate too.
A good article on Prof Sid Watkins for anybody interested:
Sid Watkins, Ayrton Senna and Formula 1's safety revolution
It is 30 years since the death of Ayrton Senna. Sid Watkins, the man who tried to save him, was a close friend who led two safety revolutions within Formula 1.

Its the Scuderia or retire from F1 and pursue alternative challenges I think. Aston Martin have apparently made him the biggest financial offer but sources close to him say money is not a motivator. It could be his concerns about the 2026 regulations are enough for him to simply walk away. Maybe the business at Red Bull was enough to close the chapter.
So, attending the remaining 2024 races, but only working on the HC Project until early 2025?? I was under the impression he wanted nothing to do with it? Looks like he has stopped contributing to the RB21 immediately? This will be interesting if true.
Can join another team in 2025 to work on a 2026 design or retire. That sure leaves allot of time to negotiate. Would have loved to have been a fly inside that Challenger flight to Miami. It sounds like they gave him what he wanted.
Tough call. I’m not as convinced of retirement as I was yesterday.
