Only just seen the news about Newey, never thought I’d see him as a TP. Hopefully he’ll have some say in Lance being replaced.
Got a tip for us?

He is a shareholder...and I expect the shareholders will be the ones to finally force him out (not that I think he wants to stay, anyway).
The most-recent Race podcast focused on Newey's appointment (condensed version here) think that Christian Horner may still end up in AMR, with the likeliest position as Group CEO. Andy Cowell was both Group CEO and Team Principal and with Cowell moving over to work with Honda and ARAMCO on the powerplant side and Newey taking the TP role, the Group CEO role is currently open.
Under AMR's current management structure, Newey as Managing Technical Partner was effectively equal with Cowell, so one would expect Horner as Group CEO would be the same with Newey, now that he holds both the TP and MTP roles (and is an equity holder in the team). This would allow Newey to focus on the technical and development side of the chassis while Horner would handle the team and sponsor management roles (something he is admittedly very good at).

Would Horner also manage female relations within the team? I expect their head of Human Resources is expecting an upturn in work.
This would be almost identical the McLaren’s structure. Or am I missing something?
Another thing is Adrian signed a 2 year contract initially and one would assume now he’s committed longer term.
