End of an era, whether he retires or moves.

Remember that teams will only be allowed to work on their 2026 car from the start of 2025 and new regulations aren't even finalized. Red Bull will be developing the aero without Newey, and are working on the new engine without Honda. Some exciting times coming, hopefully.

Genuine question: how is this even policed? You can't stop people from thinking about solutions already.

No, you can't stop engineers from testing aero in their heads, but I would imagine teams are required to keep logs and documentation of development work/wind tunnel time/computer simulations for FIA to inspect at any time. It's nothing new either, each team has a wind tunnel time and CFD allocation per season, and there's no development allowed over the summer break. I suppose in the end you have to trust that FIA is enforcing these rules properly, but you can never know for sure.

Iirc Wind Tunnel time usually is monitored by having FIA personnel present at the wind tunnel. But I may be wrong on that
