Love Jenson trying to shut down any speculatory talk! Such a fresh breath of air
Jenson has always been a class act!
Well, with the types of reports I don't think that Newey being unhappy within RB is a speculation. Whether he is actually leaving is
@@Tjescoo Yeah, now Red Bull have officially tweeted Newey's leaving mere hours later, as just about everyone seemed to anticipate, we just lost out on the chance to hear a more interesting answer, because Jenson didn't want to speculate.
Well it wasn't speculation, he is leaving
He’s leaving for Ferrari
JB is my favorite British driver. Humble, classy and top tier racer
I miss him and Lewis paired up in McLaren, two British drivers in a British team, they did well too!
Try and watch Sir Stirling Moss, Jim Clark or Nigel Mansell much better than Jenson out there.
@@vHiddenAce JB actually forced Lewis to move and luck in with the Mercs. The timing of the jump couldn't of been better for Lewis.
@@fingersTitanmore like Jenson and Whitmarsh’s love affair is what helped Niki Lauda poach Hamilton from McLaren to Mercedes 😂
@@friktionrc Sure. Not that he out scored him and in their time together finished 2nd in a bad car. Where was Lewis? You simps are a funny lot. You lot and Max lot messing it up for the true fans. PS. Lewis No 1 game is to get under the skin of his team mate. He did it to Alonso and Alonso reacted (Pit lane hold up) He threw away a whole childhood friendship in Nico growing up Karting.. He tried with JB and failed each time. Lewis. I'm faster than JB. JB. Lewis is faster over 1 lap but I am the better racer over a distance.. Over and over.. Final straw. I can't believe that @JB unfollowed me. (On his twitter account) JB's reply. Mate, I never followed you to unfollow you. *Lewis deletes the post. lololol. Sorry for your hurt Mr Frikadelle
Always good to hear from Jenson, top bloke
I find him a bit boring.
@@harrychalcraft6371keep it to yourself
@@Manoliskon917 No.
Jenson and Nico are the real TV assets
People on this channel REALLY don't like Nico because he speaks his mind haha.
They don't like it when a presenter doesn't adhere to the narrative
@@djdrastic1I never liked nico as a driver but as a commentator I absolutely love him. My favourite parts are when you literally see him hold a laugh in when the others talk absolute sh*t. And when he corrects them as a world champion has the right to
Agreed need more ex drivers who actually know wt there talking about Nico @ china keep shutting down that ass Crofty was golden
Nico shutdown that stupid idea of the new points system what Crofty was explaining.
Alonso and lewis have really inspired the older generation to continue racing. Good luck Jenson your a Legend
Very true however Lewis forced Rosberg into retirement.
Jenson, the legend himself. Top bloke ❤
Jenson’s voice of reason is a blessing
I always enjoy Jenson talking.. Genuine and down to earth and a great driver. Not going with silly speculation but focussing on the facts... Love that. I loved the times where he was co commentating on some of the races, qualifying... Wish he would do that more often but I'm guessing with how busy he is, that is not going to happen often.... Glad Jenson is happy and enjoying his current life... And family >>> everything else... All the best to you Jenson, whatever you do!
I watched Jenson's race at GoodWood in that E-type Jag. He blew the field away. Just as he did this podcast. A gentleman, at his best behind the wheel.
Exactly Jenson......everyone stop talking BS about Newey. Just shows how little news there is in F1 for this to be dragging on and on. If and when Newey speaks he speaks.
There’s rarely any news anymore
what you say now? :D
Lol this aged like milk
It was literally official news the next morning. Because, seemingly everyone in F1 was being briefed it. Seemingly everyone knew.
This comment hasn’t aged well. 😂
I loved jenson I miss him
Well said JB. Let’s stop talking so much on something that remains speculation.
Well it's happened less than 24 hours later. Red Bull just announced he's leaving.
Literally a few hours later 😂
Love Jenson! Great insights and brings a voice of reason to Sky's constant hammering trying to get Max to leave Red Bull.
'trying to get Max to leave RB'?? Not looking at an inevitable change? Getting away from Dad and the team he's had since a teenager is normal. Sky speculation, especially after the Horner debacle, is still a million miles away from 'getting him to leave RB'. That's insane...😂😂😂
@@hamonryechinaski180 Horner debacle?
I think it's Jos and Max trying to leave Red Bull. Which really says a lot about what they might be hearing about the 2026 engine development.
Always class. Maximum respect to his peers , management and fans. Great to hear his insights.
Jenson's Canadian grand prix win is one of the very few races I've watched multiple times ...incredible race ...what a guy !!
Always a pleasure to listen to Jenson 😊
What a joy listening to JB.
Could listen to Jenson all day. He makes everything sound so well.Thanks Matt. Go well jenson.
Great interview...
No way. This was Jenson’s first time on the podcast?!
"not in the business of speculation"
this quote only gets better as the week goes on:)
18 hours later, Red Bull announce it.
@@luckyspurs yes, however... at the time they said this quote. It was all indeed, speculation.
@@morturiom9651 exactly. And he's also not leaving RB. He's just leaving the F1 project. He'll be involved in next year's F1 car but probably feels his value added is less in 2026. The only worry I have is that Newey might know more and thinks they won't be competitive in 2026, hence he won't involve himself.
@@morturiom9651 At the time, it was clearly being heavily briefed to the media.
I could listen to Jenson talking for hours .
I was about to say something about his shirt being too big. Then I realised it might have been someone else's once, and my heart went out to him.
Glad to see Jenson racing WEC, Vettel team mate ?
Vettel has been a has been since 2018
ok, but before that. LoL@@hamza-chaudhry
Down to earth guy, great analysis
Love the way Jenson expresses himself with lots of respect for everyone and his words well weighed. Gives him a lot of depth.
Wish WEC would come back to the UK
Jenson and Jolyon Palmer speak so much sense.
YENSON MY FREN!
If I was him, with the wealth he has, I would think to leave, but not for another team, I would be thinking "It's time to retire" Leaving Red Bull and starting again isn't something I would be considering.
Sky LOVE blowing everything out of proportion
Except everything Sky said, happened. In under a day.
And then, BOOM
Well....
Great podcast💪
Good to see Jenson...I wish he was still racing in F1 Racing this year is not exciting by any means when championship is already decided..as it seems
Great to see Jenson back.
Jenson thank you so so much for being so Open and Honest. Cheers
so JB needs to win Le Mans then he will consider an f1 comeback. if Alonso can still race then Jenson could. i respect him fully for his decision but i would LOVE to see him race a F1 car competativley again just for a season....... or fill that VCARB seat nobody seems certain about lol
I maintain that the championship winning Brawn is the best looking F1 car to grace the track. A thing of beauty that was.
Mp 4/4 or 4/12 for me
The shape of the F2004 cant be beat. Absolutely stunning machine
I quite like the one before tbh, the honda after they lost all the sponsors is very unique looking and was rather refreshing
I never liked the wide front wings of that era but it was a beauty ❤
It was really ugly wasn't it. Like, I loved Jenson winning the Championship in it, but it was sickly white with some high viz jacket green splashed on the side. Looks wise, it was the sort of car you'd expect to see trundling in 21st place.
The studio format on race day is horrible
It's now ended for this season...It was only to go upto the Chinese GP....
Hope so. Terrible format as it lost the atmosphere especially when talking to people at the track after each event. I was at the point of just watching the race, quali, and practice only and switching the studio part off. Come on Sky, get back into the thick of it so viewers can feel part of the event and be more immersed.
New beautiful livery, new race suits and helmets...this Miami weekend is gonna be so exciting. Can't wait to see the car on track! 🙌 Let´s go guys! And Fred cooking behind the scenes! 😎💪 ❤🇮🇹 Forza C² ❤❤💪🏽💪🏽 💚🤍❤ Forza Ferrari! 💚🤍❤
Jason is right, let's separate fiction, rumours and reality 😅😅😅😅
JENSON*
@mikehipperson but you got the Idea, that's the idea😂😂😂😂social media not for teachers😂😂
Best podcast ever, JB, it's the only podcast I've watched but excellent 🏁
I've been watching the old Can - Am races. I'd love to see F1 drivers drive like those drivers It's the aggression.
JB is the King of Cool
It is my opinion that if and when Mr. Newey leaves, it will mark the beginning of the end of RedBull as we know it. It won't take long before their on track performance begins to wane.
They've still got a great technical team. Newey doesn't design every aspect. Aero, chassis, powertrain, department. I get he made the foundation, but you've got to tip the other guys that actually built it as well, wache is a vital member along with a lot of the other merc engineers they got.
long as they have Max they'll be fine.
This is called "wishful thinking".
Max ain't going no where, newey will stay or retire.
@@daarom3472Max can't out-drive a bad car lol.
You just have to love jenson button
Jenson is such an amazing personality. He truly is my favourite racer to listen to and watch. And his actual knowledge of the sport is tremendous. Legend.
Love it… also Matt, you need to upgrade your microphone set up… iPhone wires?
You missed that big ball at the bottom of the screen?
Will Newey finish the Red Bull RB17 hyper car/ if he leaves bed bull now/
"Jordan and Newey have succeeded in pulling off a major coup in extricating the designer from a contract that ran to the end of 2025 and included a 12-month “non-compete” clause which should have meant he was not available to any other team until 2027 at the earliest." Benson on BBC
I think on the sprints they should put the hard tyre on. No managing. A full on actual sprint to the finish line Qualification. Q1 Hard. Q2 Medium . Q3 softs S
Or softs and a rule they have to pit once.
I actually never realise how much I miss him until I hear him talk about stuff like this.
I want to see Button in Indycar
Love Jenson. Could listen to him talk racing all day.
Good old JB
As ever Jensen talk’s common sense. Given Adrian has won everything in F1 an immediate move would be to WEC, to win Le Mans Daytona etc, imagine Adrian Newey at Toyota or Porsche
Love to see Jenson taking after his dad, and wearing the pink shirts ^^b
If the rumours are true and newey has asked his lawyer's to found a clause in his contract so he can join a new team as soon as next year would rule out retirement
Great podcast
we've been seeing people use laptops for a good few years now for videos like this. when are they going to learn to angle the screens properly?
If Newy goes it will effect RB more than if Max or Horndog went.
Jenson is great! The questions were same old boring gossip rubbish.
Gotta loves jenson happy to play the controversy while ensuring everyone know its probably rubbish.
We all love the Jenson
Jenson is an amazing person
adrian get to enjoy his life now.. he has work enough and go live now with his fam ... he is 66 sow now its time to do the thing he didnt can do al those hard working years
Is he stepping down or quitting Red Bull. Some say one thing and some say another....?? (stepping down as in still in RB but not as a chief)
Just read the Red Bull press release
JB is a legend!!
Good on you Jenson fir wanting to talk about facts and not rumours
AMEN JENSON! Bring back Single Lap Qualifying!!! So much more drama and pressure on each driver!
Max is not going to leave the best car that's for sure. Adrian has now confirmed his departure but he won't be able to work on another F1 car for a a couple of years. Lewis at Ferrari is going to be fantastic.
Love the pink shirt, tribute to Jenson’s dad 😊😊
Welcome to the corporate podcast. Can i get you a glass bottle of water?
Not speculation with Adrian any more lol
Yay Jenson
I love Jense!
RB domination for two more years..
Always love hearing Jenson's takes. Hopefully there's time in his busy schedule to go on more F1 races and provide commentary. Best of luck on WEC!
13:12 - no. Not really
The biggest question: Will Max leave next?
Love seeing Jenson in WEC. Races are so much better than F1
Max has NEVER won a single race without Newey let’s finally see if he can do it without the car ?
You mean like hamilton never won a SINGLE race not sitting in the fastest car?? The difference is that Verstappen did win SEVERAL races EVERY season not sitting in the fastest car....OUCH!
@@erikvermolen8371 McLaren 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 sorry to burst your bubble. Let’s see if Max can do what Hamilton did by winning multiple championships at Mercedes seeing they will have the best engine in 2026. RIP Rocket Bull Racing bye bye Newey an Max I can’t wait to watch you Max fans abandon Red Bull like rats scurrying on a sinking ship. OUCH ! Lewis destroyed Red Bull by the stroke of a pen. 😂😂😂
@@Red5_ Ooh now I see, you're a smallminded Hamiltoncultist...never mind. The whole F1 world is fed up with you guys, you dont care about the sport. You're just a nasty nationalist pos. Good day sir.
Adrian just designed and finished his own sail boat, he wants to sail with Amanda around the world, Adratic sea , Amalfi coast Italian, Greece to South Africa...enjoying his pension
Newey leaving RB, which P Windsor and other insiders think is 99% a done deal IS THE NEWS! Speculation on where he'd go and its effect on Max, RB and his relationship with Horner is HUGE. A recent driver (one who was notorious contract wise initially) giving us his view is why I clicked! Dismissing it as 'speculative' is corporate F1 speak 101 and BORING!!🙄🤣🤣
Pictures or it didn't happen!
Norris is the new button
Jenson and Nico the ideal combination for the races,they know what they talking about
2nd Triple crown winner. Button or Alonso?
Miami is an absolute joke of a race and snoozefest ..will be skipping this one
Toto Wolff with the Birdman handrub.
Where is Nico Rosberg? No one is better!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Button rules!
JB always classy. 👍
Why do people assume nobody else exists that can do what Newey does? Merc won multiple championships without him. The rules change for 2026 and that changed everything we know today.
Mercedes was decades ahead with the engine, that gap couldn’t be closed with aero alone.
@@wernerklomp311 true but we don’t know what’s to come. There is always another great driver or engineer or team.
@@mustvid Newey is the best but there’re a few that are close. There’s more than aero alone, not only the engine but also all other employees, both trackside and not. Him going to another team (what I won’t believe unless it’s officially confirmed) might shake things up but certainly won’t create a new number one instantly.
Mercedes have lost all of the people that made their team good, and their engine advantages are gone. Ferrari will have the best new engine, because they're the only team that already had a very similar straight six design.
If a driver won titles with Williams, McLaren and Red Bull, the driver would be seen as pretty good at winning.
I think Miami's track is pants, the only worst thing at the Miami GP is the Cheesey off track rubbish.. (i.e. driver introduction... utter poor taste cheese).... Please, Please, Please U.S.A stop it! (There should be a clause in any Andretti contract, NO cheese, NO Team America Cr*p) C.O.A on the other hand is my Level peg favourite track with Spa.
Britney?? When did JB marry the 2016 WDC who beat Lewis Hamilton in EQUAL MACHINERY???
We as fans did not enjoy the one lap qualifying. It was really boring!!!!
Lol not even 24 hours later and its confirmed he’s going
poor Carstappen !! 🤣🤣
Alonso given everything to this sport he deserve to get something back from sport before he retired
Oh how wrong you were about Newey Jason...
Newey has said repeatedly stroll deserves credit for the 21/22 RB , " His consultantions where priceless " stroll is on a level most can never reach "
