NEWEY NEWS! | Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard REACT to Adrian Newey's Red Bull exit
After days of speculation, on Wednesday it was announced that Adrian Newey will be leaving Red Bull in 2025. Arguably the greatest F1 designer of all-time, in 19 years with the team he has helped them win seven F1 Drivers’ and six Constructors’ Championship titles.
In a statement announcing his departure, Adrian thanked his 'close friend and manager' Eddie Jordan. On this week's FFS! podcast, out tomorrow, David Coulthard grilled his co-host about what he really knows about the situation.

What do you think is next for Adrian Newey?
Ferrari
either out of F1 similar to Gordon Murray or else Ferrari. Certainly not Aston Martin. Drivers are set at Ferrari so stable environment. Not at Mercedes unless Max heads to the 3-pinstar team
Working for Ferrari from his new Oyster yacht
He must be so fed up with all the Formula 1 🐂💩 after all these years....I hope he does a year with Bobby Rahal in IndyCar just to unwind & have some motor racing fun again....
Daddy Strolls cheque book or retirement.
When Eddie is quiet it's a bad sign. He knows exactly whats going on 😂
I’m sure I saw a article saying Eddie is his manager
@@thom451000Adrian himself said it in his statement.
Lewis & Newey in red 👍🏆🏆💥🥊 bring it on 44🇬🇧
@@Senna-xi1gr Even if he goes there, a Newey car will suit Leclerc and he will embarrass a 40 year old hamilton.
@@mvd4436a racist Dutch, what a surprise.
DC should be given a lot of credit for the Red Bull success as it was he who initially swayed Newey into joining that project
Oh wow, I never knew that. What I do know is that if EJ done it, he'd never shut up about it! lol
Was going to make a similar comment. I bet DC knows more than he's letting on.
Not bad for a number 2. DC was always the number 2 for the WDC Mika.
@@supertouring22I agree.
Probably going to British Leyland. The Adrian allegro is going to be epic!
Everyone is now reporting that Eddie is Adrian’s manager. You can bet Eddie has sorted a mega bucks deal with Ferrari! Who wouldn’t like 10% of that!
If Eddie brokered a deal ,hopefully is with Aston Martin who were once JORDAN F1. I hope he goes to Williams and finish what he started years ago. But I think he will go to Ferrari and build F1 and road going super and hyper cars ✌🇮🇪
Brit wet dream. Nobody else shares that.
@@brendanmaguire4134 retirement
Adrian himself said it in his statement.
I very much doubt that statement, Eddie shenanigans are exactly why Newey left multiple teams and currently RBR.
The best part about this video is the fence sitting whilst you both know exactly what's going on behind the scenes :) Love your work guys! (PS I really mean that).
I have a friend who knew both Ron Dennis and Adrian. He told me that Ron was always micromanaging at McLaren and Adrian was frustrated with having insufficient autonomy. Things finally came to a head when Ron came into Adrian's office one day, noticed that Adrian's desk was very untidy and angrily told him that he wanted the office tidied up 'or else'. Adrian handed in his notice shortly afterwards. Maybe Adrian doesn't work well when there is trouble and strife within the team. How many championship cars do you have to design before you feel the need for holiday and a chance to put your feet up?
I remember back in the day when Jan Magnesson father was sacked by Dennis at Mclaren , many reasons were stated, but Magnesson untidy hotel rooms and the way he operated his life was to Dennis's liking!
you really didnt need a friend of them to know that, its common knowledge
And apparently he’s just taken delivery of a very large sailing yacht and wants to sail around the world
Adrian wrote that in his memoir book
So back to McLaren under a different flag than Ron might be a nice one. Though I sincerely hope he can give Williams a boost. Vowles seems a nice person to work under btw ;) Hope Adrian goes there...
Eddie loves taking money from Ferrari 😂
Trying to get back some of that Vodafone money. 😂
He loves taking money from anywhere!!!
Eddie's answer sound like he's trying to get a better deal
Bingo.
That Oyster sailboat he’s just finished could be very tempting
I'm surprised Eddie didn't write "to Adrian, you'll be needing this for your new job" on that Italian book behind him and leave it open in front of the camera
I normally listen to this just as a podcast. That's a great spot in the background!
Eddie knows more than he letting on...
100%
No! Eddie knows a lot LESS than he lets on as a consummate self publicist. 😁😁
Adrian has a brand new yacht soon to be launched. He's not worried about 'gardening leave' because he is going sailing.
Definitely reckon EJ knows EXACTLY what Adrian Newey has decided. Whether it's another team or retirement EJ knows for sure. Personally I would like to see Adrian Newey go to Aston,Audi or even Andretti not Ferrari.💯
He would not go to a team like Aston Martin where the owner lets his son race with the terrible results, we all see!!!!! He would choose a serious team like Ferrari who is a champion contender!!!!!!
@@Jil8840 Righto clearly a Hamfanboy desperately hoping🤭😂😂🤣. Zip Lewis's pants up when your done.
Davids a Red bull ambassador & Eddie's Neweys manager they will know all the details of Adrians next move. Adrian leaving if max decides also to leave will it be enough for Salzburg to get the Thai side of Red bull on side to force out Horner .
Why?Adrian is not immortal and has to retire sometime. The car is good enough to win consistently with any reasonably good driver,just like someone else winning in the absence of Hamilton driving a Merc
@@andrewpease3688we still don't know what will happen with the new engines in 2026... And we also don't know if the internal situation of the team is too much for him to continue there. Maybe it's like Jos said, that if Horner stays the team will be destroyed.
@@andrewpease3688yeah that’s why the other driver in the dominant team has easily come second ever race 😂 Muppet comment.
@@halomultiplayermoments3651?
Eddie being unusually coy. Newey himself describes Eddie as his manager...
At first I thought Ferrari. Then I thought, his reputation couldn't get higher, and the only way is down. My suggestion, get on that new boat and sail around the world while you still can. Adrian Newey owes nothing to the F1 world.
I think it's likely that Adrian is going to Ferrari because that's the team pretty much everyone wants to work and drive for at some point in their career. The addition of working with Lewis might be a boost. I really wish he'd go to Aston Martin to help Fernando finally get a front running car again so he can battle it out with Max or whoever and hopefully win his third title. Aston is the 5th best team on the grid and what he's doing with that car is amazing. I can imagine his motivation being even greater with a top car.
Just subscribed guys,excellent show,Chris
I can see him becoming a consultant for Ferrari similar to Rory Bryne at the moment. But taking a step back from being Chief Technical Officer so he can enjoy life a bit more.
EJ still has his tentacles....still remember his nugget info on LH going to Merc with folk thinking he was having one of his 'moments' lol. He knows what's going on with Newey. I wish Newey well as he has the Midas touch and probably worth more than any F1 driver's salt.
Brilliant chat lads. Great wind ups
EJ's mic cover is red, just saying 😂 It's normally black...
Well we have Red Bull... But the team with red colors... hmmm
I was gonna suggest looking for a sign. Any horses on the bookshelf?
And the book in the background?
The ITALIA book right behind him.
@@rodmm1235 Yes..... I dont know, maybe its always there I dont watch them enough to know but had to have a laugh at is....
it’s getting better and better… 😏😄 great podcast 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He was with March in the early 80's to early 90's. Leyton House was a sponsor of the March F1 entry. I would like to see him design the spec. Indy Car and then join Andretti F1😊. Full circle career finale!
Aston with Newey, Max with Redbull and Lewis at Ferrari would make things interesting...
Did anyone spot that Italian book over EJ’s shoulder.
It's the only one that you can easily and clearly see the title. Hmmmmm.
His mic cover is red too. It's usually black. Cheeky?
He's going to retire. Eddie is talking about his age way too much here.
I thought so too. The mind doesn’t always stay sharp and crystal clear as one ages.
Ferrari
Jordan is Newey's manager, and not just Newey's manager a manager with a strong friendship with Newey. Nothing is greater than a man with so much power but behaves like he has none. Smart! I am just wondering how many times did Lewis pass Jordan, and heard the words... Lewis join Ferrari.
Nicely presented DC and good back and forth from 2 guys who know him particularly well. Let's leave AN in peace giving him the respect and space he deserves after all he has given us in the sport with such a long and successful career so far 😊
Love watching these conversations.
Is this clip part of a whole show that is going to be uploaded on yt, or is it stuck behind some paywall?
Eddie knows exactly what's going on,,, he's being very guarded about what he discloses,,,,,
@F1ForSuccess question for DC… when you were driving for McLaren, the team moved from Bridgestone tires to Michelin tires in 2002, what was the difference between the 2 brand? Pros and cons on both and which one did you prefer? Thanks
Difficult to say what his plans are ?, seems like a fine gentleman and I wish him all the best in whatever decision he comes to
My only comment is, Red Bull were giving him some much space to do what he wants (RB17, Valkirye, racing... etc) ... a new employer will want him 100% to build a team fast... also, he couldn't handle Horner during a power grab, can he handle the Italian court of Public opinion?
I share the same view .. the cauldron of Italian scrutiny is no safe place if things don’t work out. The expectations would be high and probably the time scale unrealistic to produce a WCC / WDC car.
States the random commenter online. LOL
The red microphone is a signal
good pick up!
Eddie knows, Eddie always knows 😂
The redevelopment of the wisley airfield as a formula 1 hi tech facility and aviation museum would appeal to a veriety of Formula 1 engineering companies and aviation enthusiasts Will Adrian sail his new boat with Eddie in the Global Oyster Challenge this year with his time out ?
Eddie is on 20%
He's in power saving mode.
@@TheFoggyjones think he means 20% of whatever Newey gets for his next signing
@@kityhawk2000 Yes. This was a joke.
I wish these two still did f1 commentary. i miss them
Love the Growl EJ don't ever stop!!! It's unapologetically you!
Adrian Newey is the Charlie Watts of formula one. All the superstars out front making all the noise and he just sits in the background quietly keeping everything in tune.
Newey and Hamilton may win the title together in 2026.
In 2022, Ferrari proved that having the best car means nothing. Crymilton would be going haywire on radio all the races
he should go back to williams ... does he need the big money no .. but it would be brilliant to see him trying to move them back into mid field runners will it happen .... sadly no
At the same university as Adrian at the same time....dont remember seeing him at the time. However these universities are large communities. Will Eddie enter a boat in the Global Oyster Challenge and have a competition to sponsor three severely disabled or blind adults to help with several of the route legs as crew ? Its great to do things for charity in the UK.
The idea that Adrian Newey would work for Eddie Jordan, especially for a paltry half million.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
loved the verbal jousting chaps looking forward to seeing more. I think it's good news for A,N he's worked hard he deserves to do what ever he wants. I'd be happy building boats too.. so what ever he decides he'll have my respect if he decides to continue working.
You two willy old cats lol, gave me a good chuckle. Adrian just said EJ is his manager, DC I used to watch you as a young lad, still yourself and Mika among my fave drivers, both on and off track, peace
I agree with these gentlemen that considering all aspects a time out seems to be the right thing to do.
Eddies little black book on the arm of the chair would be a cracking read..🥺😂
I wish these arrived on the Podcast feed too. It's too easy to miss an episode essentially the same thing but shorter.
it’s the first time i ever watched this show, im big f1 fan and may i say i seen a side of coulthard i never seen before really good and entertaining keep it up dc
FFS might actually be the fastest growing podcast in the world this week with all the publicity! 😜
Should we read into the fact that next to Eddie’s head, on the shelf, is a large book titled “Italia”?
I'd rather have EJ in my corner, than have to fight against him. Adrian's contract must have had clauses RBR never thought existed.
Eddie is squirming trying not to give it away!
I think he will leave F1 entirely. Dont think he likes the way the new F1 regs are going.
It's got more to do with F1 becoming more of a reality show/circus/spectacle and less of a sport with focus on the technical side of things
Yeah i think so too.
@@MentalParadoxf1 has always been a reality show. You don’t get to have characters like James Hunt, Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone and then say you aren’t a reality show
He's Ferrari bound!!
@@Michael-pi8ps If you think it hasn't gotten exponentially worse in the past 6 years, you haven't been paying attention.
Why are you asking what's next? They have already said he will be working on the RB17 hypercar.
yeah and they also said the development of the car is finish near the end of the year and first test in the first quarter of 2025 and he is out by this point
Friendship trust is more important than podcast views.
Is Eddie Adrian’s manager?
Yes.
I heard so but ...... ????
according to ediie? eddie's the reason adrian is such a genius and all his career moves are because of eddie.
No, he isn’t
@@purebeachclubsamui2750 turns out he is
he doesn't look well health wise , I would say he should take at least a year off get on his boat and relax enjoy life , he's what mid 60s , he's done enough , now time to work on that charity project and get a knighthood perhaps with Ron
I was with you until you mentioned Ron
No shot he does that
He’s born in 1948.
This, for me, confirms what I've been saying all along. Newey is going to retire. He's been experiencing massive pressure for more than 30 years. There comes a time you're done with it. He's not as young anymore. Going to Ferrari would mean getting even more pressure compared to his previous endeavours at the other teams he's been at. The Tifosi as well as the Italian media who expect nothing but wizardry from him, and will be quick to burn him to the ground if Ferrari isn't close to winning the championship. And then the politics at Ferrari, something he has never really liked. I just don't see him working from a distance; the power of Newey is not just his pencil but also his understanding of aerodynamics. He can see, while looking at a car, what could work and what couldn't. This means he should be at the races to see and analyse what the other teams have done. Since he had his bike accident, he's looked very brittle. Horner also touches on this when he said how long it took for Newey to recover and how the other had to step up on that occasion. Again, Newey is old, 65 years old at the moment. It's unsure how long he has left to experience other things in relative well health. Going for a job at Ferrari would be a huge gamble given his age. Therefore, I think he'll retire and do odd jobs from time to time.
I would say Alpine, that would fit in a silly season like this.... But I think Ferrari. There is also a team at RB around him, he didn't doing it all by himself.
I think EJ knows that AN is retiring. You can hear it. Imagine Newey going to Ferrari?! What a huge challenge. AN also is looking quite a lot older. Maybe AUDI is a better move, but it sounds like Adrian Newey needs some time out.
David and Eddie love the content!
It wont happen but imagine Jordan reforming with Newey , Carlos Sainz and Mick Schumacher
You know how well respected Adrian is if EJ wont flare up the drama 😂❤
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! 💚🤍❤
If he doesn't want to retire and wants a challenge I'd prefer he take his knowledge to audi or andretti, that way it would be more his design and not just tweaks to what ferrari have already done, but i reckon he's going to use the next few months to decide between ferrari or move on from f1
What does this mean for there pit crew is what I wanna know
I once saw Eddie Jordan. It was an average week day at some time not long following the turn of the century. I still then practiced as a lawyer and Eddie was sat in 'concerned interlocution' with just some not so flamboyant shirt on his back and the location was in the cafe across the road from the main entrance to The Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand. Whilst we were both in the same room only on separate business the one remarkable observation aside from this being 'Eddie' was the profusion of underarm sweat then staining his shirt. I honestly don't think I have ever exhibited so much 'cold sweat' on anyone either before or since then? Goodness knows what Eddie looks like after one of his cycle rides - something I did 'stacks of' over in France and in the mountains from the late 1980s until the early 2000s. Here today I think we can call Eddie "The Wise Old Elf" (a Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom reference). Eddie did let the cat out of the bag. Adrian is just turning 65 and he's worked hard and under pressure and most successfully for all his working life. Here today the advice is properly to enjoy the more gentle side of life and RETIRE. Well done, Adrian. As with Eddie and David you have helped shape motor sports. I love this cheap, grunge and grass roots approach to reporting because F1 has today 'lost its hear' and those who love the sport as we all have need to work to bring it back down a peg or three. Otherwise, and as I have sadly found with this one category: When the fun stops, STOP.
This is a really good grownup reactions and F all the braking news channels and cheap KZhead channels that only want to score views
this is just my opinion of course so shoot me down if im talking out of turn, my opinion is simple, Adrian newey has said the lure of Ferrari is strong regardless of what point in your career your at, and that he has came close to joining Ferrari on at least 4 occasions if memory serves me correctly. and Hamilton has joined them next season so honestly the possibility of working with Ferrari and working with Lewis Hamilton to achieve a 8th WDC is a massive pull for him. and i think the political struggles of red bull currently is not something Adrian newey likes. so conclusion all that combined i think because of the politics of red bull he will join Ferrari and work with Lewis Hamilton, lets all be honest the man is a masterclass in F1 car design any constructor would be lucky to have him.
EJ, what bike do you ride? How many kilometers/miles per day/week? Go Buzzin' Hornets! Best regards.
I love this pod.....still think david should have done indycar
Would be nice to see him at Aston Martin.
Can you two and Jean Alesi please start the next Topgear or equivalent please!!! 🙏🙏
I’m a Ferrari fan but don’t want Lewis Hamilton anywhere near Ferrari. Now with the rumours regarding Adrian Newey it’s like Ferrari are trying to buy success. Hopefully Leclerc can beat Crybaby Lewis next season. Ferrari can do it without LH and AN 👌
Doesn't sound like you're much of a Ferrari fan to me. The true tifosi want the team to do well regardless of driver ab designer. Also assuming you didn't object to buying success when they signed schumacher
@@kityhawk2000 I have always supported both scarlet Ferraris. I would be so happy to see Leclerc win the championship but Hamilton just doesn't appeal to me. Personally I can't stand the guy. Rather keep Carlos Sainz.
Well, he obviously needs to find another PA to stock… are we serious about this? Newey left because Vos, Max, Horner, and all the rest drove him crazy. I don’t blame him one bit.
Retirement. Man’s done everything in F1 he got money, 65 years old I’ll be surprised if he got to another F1 team.
Newey going to Ferrari would be the most boring outcome of all the possibilities. I’d prefer a tight championship fight instead of the guarantee whichever team Newey goes to will dominate.
DC. I believe what he says , he spent so many years with Newey.
The media want to make this all about Horner, and to wish Newey to Ferrari immediately to create a winning car for Hamilton. While in Newey's statement it sounds to some degree he is fed up with current F1, and wanted to leave Red Bull last year. While everyone assumes he wants to nail the 2026 regulations, maybe he wants to sit it out and see what 2026 F1 is like before considering another team. Just because he said he regrets not working at Ferrari and with Hamilton, doesn't mean he wants to jump straight into that. No guarantee that either of them fits well in the team, or that success comes immediately. Yeah, Red Bull nailed the '22 regulations, but they had years refining that design team exactly as they wanted it. Will Elkann interfere?
Eddy is Newies manager
Isn’t Eddie his manager??😮😮
DC and EJ is a Rockstar 👍
If Adrian's thinking or retiring, it would have been announced as a retirement move. Red Bull's been silent on the cause and reason, so I can only assume he still has fire in him, and it was the in fighting that got him to leave 😜
Eddie is adrians manager. TRUE
If Newey wants to leave the Red Bull fold sooner, he should raise a complaint against Horner then wait to be sacked. Just like they did with that female whistleblower….
Isn't Eddie Jordan Adrian Newey's Manager?
Honda will want his to stay on with them and head to AM. Young Stroll out with the seat going to Checo.
Or Max? Max is Honda’s biggest fan, it seems …
@@johnhopkins4920 Max to Mercedes.
he could (should) works with Andretti again ... or with HAAS, again
Adrian Newey and Ferrari? Yes's please!
Newey’s latest design with Red Bull is arguably the most successful racing car ever.How do you top that.But the world is his Lobster 😂 as someone once said
Eddie is his manager so what ever he comments you can take it with a large grain of salt.
Love be the fly on Eddie's wall in his kitchen in cape town
He says he would regret to not of worked with Hamilton or a team as big with the history as Ferrari so its odvious he wants to move to Italy
If he doesn't like the corporate nonsense going on at RB then he ain't going to Ferrari which is nonsense on steroids. Lawrence Stroll fits EJ's ideal of the single guy in charge like Didi Mateschitz.
Williams is the right place for him!
DC and Eddie Jordan winding each other up is why F1 was created.
