Nobody forces you to retire. It just becomes (usually) more economical to stop working, kick back, and let the government give you free shit in return for votes.

If you're in demand, have the skills, and are willing to keep working like Newey then people will take the decision to keep going.

Plenty of old white dudes in F1.

Nobody forces you to retire.

I didn't write anything about forcing him out, neither am I "judging when he should retire", but everyone acting as if a guy in the mid-60s would want to set up an entire operation around him in a completely diffent country is just out of touch with the realities of being an older guy.
