Er.. why would a Ferrari championship whether with Hamilton or not be the 'crowning moment' of Newey's career? Given how incredibly successful he has been, the idea that suddenly a Ferrari championship tops all that has gone before is pretty risible imo.
As far as 'Might even get people saying they enjoy F1 again', you're mainly just saying if Hamilton smacks everyone in 2026 then people (ie you) will start enjoying F1 again.
How about 'The icing on the cake'?As far as 'Might even get people saying they enjoy F1 again', you're mainly just saying if Hamilton smacks everyone in 2026 then people (ie you) will start enjoying F1 again.

I want to see Hamilton fighting for the wins. Total dominance is downright boring.2022 was the most exciting season i've ever seen in F1, when you couldn't put a fag paper between Merc and RB.
I'm sure there have been many great historical battles, but it got pretty dull when Merc dominated, and these last two years just reminds me of that season when Brawn pulled the rug from everyone with their double diffuser - and Jenson couldn't be touched.
I only watch now in the hope that Max will clip a wall or blow a gasket

It's pretty easy to see why it would be his crowning glory, having the best designer, the greatest driver and the oldest and most successful team coming together to win the championship would be amazing.

Designing a car for the team with the 2 greatest F1 drivers of all time - I think he’d be happy with that.

Every driver wants a shot there including now Lewis. And they’re willing to leave somewhere stable with ££££££££ to do so.
Can’t say I blame them.
Why would he want to go to Aston.
He has already built wdc winning cars from nothing.
Like it or not Ferrari is pretty much the epitome of F1.
For him to go there and design a winning car would be legendary.
Aston are not a serious outfit anyway, when stroll has his clown son as a driver.

Given how many times he has turned down Ferrari... including to work with multiple WDCs why not go to the underdog and take them to the top?He has already built wdc winning cars from nothing.

Like it or not, winning for Ferrari is always seen as the jewel in F1. If you at the top of your F1 game, the expectation is that Ferrari comes knocking.

I'm not sure Hamilton being there has any relevance (unless Newey and Hamilton have personal connections I'm unaware of), but Ferrari is... well.... Ferrari. It's completely illogical, but most people in F1 seems to aspire to spend at least part of their career there. vaud said:

Or getting Lance podiums/race wins.

Yes, that’s my thinking.
It could only be a civil commercial dispute between RBR Ltd an AN Ltd, for which the only sanction is financial. So if Ferrari want to employ Newey, RB can’t stop it.
