He will remain involved in and committed to this exciting project until its completion.

So have we all been massively gnoshed off by the RB shit talking PR game with the rumours he's joining another F1 team (possibly Ferrari)? Or will he be able to "complete" this exciting project before next season?

He says in his letter that the RB17 hypercar is "in final stages". I expect this is something RB insisted on for his statement, as they've been using almost identical language in their press releases on the matter. They want wealthy buyers to know it's still a Newey joint.

I don't think an aerodynamics specialist has much to do in the final stages of a production road car, his input would likely have been much earlier in the process.

nothing gets my billionaire penis more erect than knowing the airflow is optimal around my valet- and museum-bound hypercar.

It’s probably just a slightly more active “gardening leave”

He can join Ferrari and still work on a RB hypercar.
