Also, thanks to ... Eddie Jordan, my close friend and manager.

Didn't know EJ was involved, he's always sneaking his way into these sorts of shenanigans!

EJ is always talking about cycling with Newey in Capetown on his podcast.

When the rumors started flying EJ played it off "I wouldn't want to violate our friendship by asking for insider details".

Meanwhile he was probably working directly with Newey on this move the whole time.

EJ is a true old school F1 owner, a sneaky snake with a love of the sport.

I'm also noticing the specific call out for Christian Horner's family...

Motorsport-Total says that Eddie Jordan and Newey's lawyers negotiated this deal with Oliver Mintzlaff. Apparently Newey and Horner were not present themselves in any of the negotiations.

They also speculate that part of the deal is Newey assuring not to talk about his opinion on Hornergate.

I feel like it's somewhat safe to assume his opinions on that. I guess the real question is does he have other information that could be damning that he's now not allowed to talk about.
