A Ferrari or AM slot? He's under contract with Red Bull until 2026 and so called "gardening" time would be spent doing just that.

I think, personally, he's been persuaded to join the Andretti F1 Team - in preparation of their admittance in 2028. Now, wouldn't that be something.

More to follow,

Yep, I'd bet he's going to Andretti, as well. If I had to hypothesize, he stays with Red Bull through the term of his contract (end of 2026), does his "garden time" in 2027, and starts with Andretti in 2028. 'Cause knowing Adrian, he's not going to want to retire now and "sit around" for 3 years, doing effectively nothing.

He's a youngster at 66 years old & not going to be raising fresh veggies and chugging British tea during breaks from tilling the soil. He's too "antsy" and driven to do that. The man has unspeakable engineering finesse & he knows it along with the envy of every other F1 team knowing it too.

Looks like 2024 carries on with news of Audi announcing & Hass confirming the departure of Finish driver Niko Hulkenberg at end of 2024 season. He'll be a Sauber driver for their lone 2025 year which morphs into Audi for the 2026 year (and beyond).

2026 teams are shaping up & it's quite exciting. Plenty of 2025 slots yet to be filled -- pick me, pick me (yes, me -- vintage_tube)
