And missed this during the race, Charles after Sprint paying Carlos back and both loosing out at the start as result.
His darker coloured helmets (WC last year) work better imo, probably the different coloured sponsor logos (no Yellow from RBR for example) help a lot.
And Ferrari goes "azure blue" in MIami, was hoping for full on livery but it will probably be nothing more than few stripes :(

Talking about sponsor colours messing things up, that HP logo looks really bad on red.
No one is gonna call that Scuderia Ferrari HP, but the money bags are surely nice, very nice.

Shanks we need to have a talk, something like this cannot be worth the money
And Hulk almost confirmed at Sauber/Audi

They won't miss him this year or for next years car, as he hardly worked on the RBR20 and it is mostly Waché's car.
But with the rule change in '26 coming and Newey still one of the few that understands all aspects of a car and how they work together, likely a big blow for them. On the other hand they might prove they are more than the "it's all Newey"
Reading AMuS it is still full speculation were he goes, so we will have to wait a bit longer for that. But hope it is either his postponed midlife crisis and goes to Ferrari or the big middle finger to Christian and joins Mercedes for the banter.
Big question left for me is; is he the only one leaving? Because that it is not happy campers at RBR is clear to see for all.

And reading few more reports, it looks like Newey were ever he goes will not have any influence on a car until late '26 if not later.
Race reports he is under contract until end '25 add gardning leave period and '26 new rule set comes to early. So we need to find a way to delay those rules with two years ;)
the-Race
"However, when approached by The Race, a Red Bull spokesperson said: "Adrian is contracted until at least the end of 2025 and we are unaware of him joining any other team."
Though that leaves some wiggle room for Newey wanting to leave or even informing senior figures at Red Bull of his intention to do so, it is an interesting specific reference to the length of Newey's contract and to the notion of him moving to a rival.
To stay in F1 and prepare for the new car rules in 2026, Newey would need to negotiate a shorter period of gardening leave that allows him to work at another team next year.
Red Bull is indicating that will not be possible. And confirming Newey's contract runs until "at least the end of 2025" implies there are mechanisms in Newey's deal that could prevent him from working elsewhere for even longer - for example, if the end of 2025 is the earliest that a period of gardening leave would begin, that would mean he couldn't start work for another team until 2027.
But there would presumably be nothing Red Bull could do to stop Newey simply retiring. "
