Looks like Newey off to Ferrari, who are likely to make the best engine as that is the Ferrari way.

Ferrari did not think that the rules for 2014 for the new powerplant would go ahead so they were a long way behind Merc.
Would be great to see Ferrari and McLaren battling each other for podiums again.
Interesting, any sources? Williams are my forever team with sadly not much to celebrate for many years, would be amazing if Newey returned there.Strong rumour that it's Williams!

That said, as Tony mentioned re McLaren, Williams are not the team they once were.

Adrian left Williams when Frank Williams and Patrick Head decided that they would not give Adrian shares in the company. At the time he was really the Technical Director (TD) and moved to McLaren, where I was working at the time, to be TD in 1997. In 98 we had our first championship win since 1991. Adrian just added the last bit of aero that we needed to create the best car.From someone with a very close connection to F1.
It would be great if true. Kind of closing the career loop. I grew up in the era when Williams was THE team and would love to see them a top player once again.
EDIT: My source has confessed that Williams was pure devilment on his part....
So is that Bottas out of a job, or Zhou? Or both?
I was really surprised at just how much difference there is in the price of tickets between GP's. For the price of Silverstone you could probably get a flight to some other GP and save money. IIRC last year when I looked the cheapest tickets were something like £150 in Hungary or somewhere.£159, I still have my ticket somewhere, went to Austria that year too… £67 and you could see half the track. Never liked Silverstone as a spectator, poor view and stupidly expensive.
I saw that a couple of days ago too. The issue I have with it though is also noted in quite a few of the comments: it unfairly favours the drivers of the more modern era that have had the longest career, as there are far more races now. I'd like to see the same list but done by average points per race (i.e. take those numbers and divide by total number of races entered - so yes including DNFs, or at least ones that were due to driver error).I spotted this video this morning
Or Newey was always going that way and he encouraged Ferarri to approach Lewis, or tipped Lewis off? Call me cynical but I find it very hard to believe that a driver by themselves know enough of what's going on to make "good calls". Lucky calls maybe, or they're being advised/tipped off by others.So a great call
