Anyone else surprised at the short gardening leave? Him starting in March changes things. I thought he would be out at least until September of 2025,which would hurt his participation in the 2026 design. If, however, he does start in March, he can absolutely be a major part of the redesign and that changes the calculations for who might be a force in 2026.
Yep, I am. How much leverage did he have or how much money did he give up to keep it that short?
I think it was reported when they announced his exit at Red Bull that he was able to secure really favorable conditions.
He had a lot of leverage due to their ongoing hypercar project they wanted him to finish.
