Alpine have entered the hunt to recruit the in-deman🌠d Adrian Newey.

The b🐲attle for his signature has long been predominantly between Aston Martin and Ferrari b☂ut it seems he has additional options too.

Newey has held “pretty extensive” talks with Flavio Briatore, who rece꧒ntly joined Alpine as their exeꦑcutive adviser, report.

Newey is “evaluating his options”, the report says, which include an off♈er on the table from Aston Martin📖 and interest from his former team Williams.

But the addition of Enston♒e-based Alpine adds a fascinating new layer to the future of F1’s most coveted individual.

💜Newey will leave his job as Red Bull🥂 chief technology officer early next year, meaning he could join a new F1 team in enough time to influence their 2026 car.

That means Newey could yet be influential in the upcoming F1 regulation change, with prospective employers hoping he could turn them in⛦to the sport’s dominant foꦦrce.

“As well, you are in the market, you are in the business, you are talking people♈.

“Alpine was a little bit in the corner, nobody was ﷽talking about Alpine anymore, you ⛦know what I mean?

“Now we are there, we have the finance, we have the support from the chairman, we have a big group behind us and should someth𓂃ing happen that’s a good possibility we do it, as simple as that.

“But only if it’s good for the team.

“And then it’s not a𝄹n ego trip, I take this engineer, I take this engineer, because one man is not changing the team; we have plenty of examples like that when people buy everything.

“Yౠou don’t buy the culture; the culture to win you don’t buy, you buy what𒆙ever you want.

“We have plenty of people who buy, buy, buyꦫ but the result is not really in proportion with what you buy.”

Briatore was asked if signing Newey was possible.

“Everything’s possible in life,” he responded.

Alꦗpine, in addition to bringing in Briatore, havꦺe added Oliver Oakes as team principal.

They will give rookie driver Jack Do🉐ohan 𒈔a chance in 2025 alongside Pierre Gasly.
