Hahaha !!! That would be a bombshell if Newey came to snub Ferrari and Aston Martin's advances to accept a position at Williams !!!
Agreed, I think it's cool for funsies to compare drivers from different epochs. What's wild to me is to say Hamilton doesn't even deserve to be considered in the conversation. Hell, I think Jordan is the GOAT, doesn't mean I'll clown a person for considering Larry Bird.
I'm certain that if Newey DID commit to Williams, they would have plenty of suitors willing to throw BUCKETS of money at them. I, for one, think it would be GREAT!
Newey just said at the MiamiGP with Brundle that he's going to take time off and travel either by motorhome and going thru France or by boat. Then he'll take a shower one day and decide what the next adventure might be.

If being a "common" fan means that I don't sit around for hours, deep diving into every driver's segment times in P1, and putting them in an excel spread sheet, then I guess I'm "common"... just like 99% of everyone that watches F1. That 99%...they have better things to do. It's a BS comment and you know it.
Translation: The two people I'd like to work with are FA and LH "for instance, working with Fernando and Lewis would have been fabulous." https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/240328/adrian-newey-was-keen-to-work-with-alonso-and-hamilton.html
99% of those that watch F1... that would define common. I didn't think it was so deep and no was no bad intended. Sorry you are offended.
While Newey was explicit about the fact that he had no immediate plan for the rest of his career, ALL Italian bloggers (some usually rather cautious) say that he already gave Ferrari his consent for 2025 ( April) I don’t understand what’s going on there..
They are IMPLICIT that Newey will design the 2026 car for Ferrari from South Africa WHICH IS WHY Hamilton will win his 8th title with Ferrari. You CANNOT change their mind even though the video of Newey(which you described) says he has no plans of F1 plans after his break or "retirement" from F1.
