If you don't need a reference, employment or wages and don't care about burning bridges or any chaos in your wake then just do it.

I think its normal in some positions for the business to put you on gardening leave for your notice period or mutually agree termination where there is sensitive information or you are a public face or if you are going to a rival.

With that in mind, does David Evans know something? "I have a sneaking suspicion this isn’t the last we’re going to hear from Andrea Adamo in the World Rally Championship". But then also "you...will be sadly missed from the service park". Perhaps a higher role for another marque?

I dunno. He was always entertaining, that's about what I do know.
