Asked if there’s a sense of pride from all the nice things people have been saying about him in recent weeks and months, the 65-year-old states: “Yeah, it is.

Pushed on whether there’s one more stint in him, he adds: “Ultimately, it’s not why I do the job. From the age of 10 or 11 I always wanted to be a designer in motor racing, and I’ve managed to achieve that, so everything else is a bonus really.

“My passion has always been trying to add performance to cars, to race cars, so the rest is, of course, part of it, but it’s not what wakes me up and motivates me.”

It remains to be seen, then, what one of the sport’s greatest brains will decide to do next – whether that’s in or out of F1 – but the newly-launched RB17 shows there are still plenty of bright ideas swirling around in his mind…
