Ferrari’s Fred Vasseur has been asked about Adrian Newey - and his response hints that a link-up won’t happౠen.

Red💟 Bull’s outgoing chief technology officer is a coveted figure in F1, and can start w🉐ork at a new employer next season.

Aston Martin and Ferrari𒅌 are🍎 the teams credited with the keenest interest in bringing Newey into their factory.

But 🐈Ferrari team principal Vasseur told : “I've ꦿalways said that the group comes first.

“This applies to engineers, drivers and anyone.

“It is not the sum of ♈talents that generates performance but a right combination of factors.

“Paris Saint-Germain have always ♏taken the best, yet they have never won the Champions League.

“However, we are on the right track.”

Vasseur noted th🎶at financia🥃l restrictions means he prioritises a group above a singular transformative individual.

“Yes, it is♛ a conse🎀quence of the budget cap,” he said.

“Previously Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes would have🌌 spent withoꩲut limits, now it's not possible and they have to be more efficient.

“Other teams, however, are used 🌠to moving with redඣuced resources.

“This too is a lesson and the result is a𒁃 championship never seen before where eight🌼 of them can win."

Vasseur clearly state﷽d “no” when asked if Ferrari's new technical structure will be different from the one before.

However, key figures have exited Maranello.

Enrico Cardile represents a major loss to Ferrari and is a huge cou🌠p for Aston Martin, who signed him as their new c🍒hief technical officer.

“Stability does not mean ke𒅌eping Cardile,” Vas🎶seur replied.

“It means having a solid 𒆙leadership group, with over a hundred people, among the most important in the entire Ferrari company, we meet regularly to discuss things.

“We are an organi🐠sation in which the collective matters more 🌺than the individual."

Vassꦡeur backed his existing group, without Cardile, but added: “But I am also convinced that it needs reinforcements, and in fact we have hired 60 people in 12 months without advertising.

“Fin🌌ally, there is also another aspect: with the budget cap it is impossible to always keep the same ones."
