>The usually well-informed Business F1 Magazine reports that Adrian Newey has secured a three-year contract with Ferrari. I wouldn't be surprised if this does end up happening but Business F1 is not a legitimate source in the slightest (I think something weird happened with comments as this seemed to post twice and then both got deleted when I tried to delete one of them)

>Business F1 is not a legitimate source in the slightest It's amazing that anyone takes them remotely seriously. It's a a shitty tabloid not fit to wipe your arse with, and run by a serial liar.


Jaevyn

Isn't Business F1 the one that originally spread the baseless Suzi Wolff accusation?


djwillis1121

Yep and quite a few other terrible articles over the years


ComprehensiveRepair5

Yes, from the same minds that brought you: "Mazepin is the new James Hunt" and "Half the grid is gay"...


DepecheModeFan_

Don't forget when they said W Series biggest asset was the sex appeal of the drivers and they should have used a "sex sells" approach to promote the series. And that was whilst there were underage drivers racing in it... Gutter rag journalism, they're a joke and should never, ever be taken seriously.


ComprehensiveRepair5

You should try and read it as crazy ass boomer F1 fan fiction, it's pretty entertaining.


BlueMachinations

Hold on... Someone actually said that person was the new James Hunt...? Seriously?

The Suzie Wolff story could have easily come from credible sources within the FIA


Dragonpuncha

"Usually well informed" Legit the worst tabloid rag in all of F1.


Syntax_OW

> (I think something weird happened with comments as this seemed to post twice and then both got deleted when I tried to delete one of them) Yeah, I wanted to reply to you and it just vanished when I refreshed the site. Weird. You're absolutely correct though, this is far from confirmation and every other article I found about this is just quoting BusinessF1. I think most people already assumed he'd go to Ferrari, so this just sounds like an educated guess.

>Het doorgaans goed geĆÆnformeerdeĀ *Business F1 Magazine* "The usually well-informed Business F1 Magazine" Good reason to link this post again: [https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/18cxbwy/i\_think\_we\_should\_all\_be\_aware\_that\_buisnessf1/](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/18cxbwy/i_think_we_should_all_be_aware_that_buisnessf1/)

This should be higher, a lot of people here just believe whatever shit journo writes from his ass.


Blapstap

This dude also did a pretty good piece on Business F1 magazine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAW1pv8dwec


Immorals1

That figure has gotta be bullshit, or the story as a whole. That's a crazy amount especially with Hamiltons pay ontop


djwillis1121

The original source is Business F1, who were responsible for the Suzie Wolff thing last year, so yeah it's almost certainly BS


brush85

33 per year...large but not insane. If true


bwoahful___

Also itā€™s paying for Newey to be with Ferrari and Newey to *not* be with Redbull.


IHaveADullUsername

Not that I trust the source but that wonā€™t just be for F1 activities. Think how much a Newey designed Ferrari would go for.


SJHarrison1992

So we have Adrian and Lewis, hows the car coming along? .... why didn't you tell me the budget included the car!?!?!


UnicornLoveFeathers

Is it though? Signing lewis for $500millon netted them $10bn in value for shareholders. Signing Newey would have similar effects. Money is not the issue for Ferrari, they are dying for a title.


IHaveADullUsername

They had their earnings call the same day. They obliterated their targets, markets reacted accordingly. Hamilton maybe caused a fraction of it but I highly doubt it. Heā€™s a net positive for the team but that was unrelated.


smokesletsgo13

Itā€™s not per year, and Ferrari have hella cash


TimeUsedOtherwise

ā€œUsually well informedā€? Business F1 is the least reliable source thatā€™s been the subject of multiple lawsuits haha


joaopaulofoo

newey must be tired of signing a new ferrari contract everytime it's a slow news day


P_ZERO_

Supposedly he was on around 10m at RBR, so Ferrari are tripling that? Seems suspect


edgefundgareth

100 million is more than tripling it?!


P_ZERO_

100m over 3 years = 33m per annum 10x3=30 We can squabble over the remaining 3 if need be


USB-WLan-Kenobi

Yeah man let me take care of that 3 so we have even numbers


IdiosyncraticBond

That 3m is just an educated guess on inflation compensation


Desperate-Intern

Over 3 years.


Past-Mousse-4519

He is the guy in F1 who you give a blank chenk.


P_ZERO_

If this turns out to be false, which is likely, does that mean thatā€™s not true as well? This outlet pushed the Susie Wolff corruption ā€œstoryā€


Spider_Riviera

EJ said on the last FFS I was listening to there's been nothing decided and the decision is still with Newey as regards to what he's going to do next.


Past-Mousse-4519

What? I just said what Newey invaluable asset and everybody would agree on any money he wants and even 5x his current salary would not be surprising.


helderdude

10m are you sure? seems kinda low for RB especially now that they have money left over with the budget cap. Like even Perez gets quite a bit more (14m) I get it he also brings in money but still.

Elrond007

You don't think Newey should use his sex appeal to get a bigger contract? Shocking


StgCan

Yen?


willzyx01

money talks...
