At least it means Audi will have a German driver.

Hulk is a beast of a driver. If only Mercedes hired him instead of Bottas, I think he would have done way better.

They couldn't since very few days before he signed at Renault and it was too expensive to buy him out. Blame Rosberg

I know he's not a driver but it will be interesting to see where Adrian Newey goes.

Back with Aston on the Valkaryie/WEC project for gardening leave then F1 in 2026 or to Ferrari

Frankly, I'd be shocked if he didn't end up at Ferrari, if he leaves Red Bull. That's the one feather he absolutely wants in his cap.

Ferrari
Leclerc
Hamilton
Vasseur
Newey

Is that as close to a modern era F1 dream team as we will ever see?

Realistically the dream team in 2024 is:

Red Bull (Operationally they are perfect, great pitstops and strategies. Same can't be said for Ferrari)
Verstappen (Has he even made a proper driving mistake in the last few years?)
Hamilton (Legacy only, Alonso or Sainz on current form)
Horner (Who do you think got Red Bull working so well?)
Newey (Obvs)

Does Newey want to watch his cars do a 4-stop onto the wrong tyres each time while watching the Red Bull-Ford one-stop to win?
