Newey has been with Red Bull since 2006, playing a major role in their success in the early 2010s with Sebastian ꦓVettel and now🌟 with Max Verstappen.

The 64-year-old has worke𝐆d with a number of F1 legends throughout his illustrious career - Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost at Williams; Mika Hakkinen at McLaren.

However, Newey has revealed he wished he got the chance to work with Alonso and Hamilton - two of F1’s modern greats - as well as Ferrari, who he was close to joining on at least two occ🐷asions. 

“Emotionally, I guess, to a point. Yes,” Newe🌱y said whenဣ asked if he had any regrets about not joining Ferrari on F1’s .

“But just as, for i🍬nstance, working with Fernando and Lewis would have been fabulous. But it never happened. It’s ꦅjust circumstance sometimes, that’s the way it is.”

Newey was close to joining Ferrari in 2014 after growing frustrated 🍰by Renault’s lack of commitment to the sport. - at the time, Renault were Red Bull’s engine supplier.

“My discussions in 2014 with Ferrar♒i were purely out of frustrati൲on,” Newey explained.

“I really didn’t want to leave but we were in this posi🤡tion where Renault hadn’t produced a competitive turbo hybrid engine.

“That happens♈ in the first year, OK, new rules. We all mꦉake mistakes.

“But we went to see Carlos Ghosn [former Renault CEO], Christian, Helmut and myself to try to put pressure on him to 🎃ꦰup the budget.

“Ghosn’s reply was ‘Well, I have no interest in F1. I’m only in it because my marketing people say I sh🌱o🥃uld be. That was such a depressing place to be.”
