Legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey has responded to reports about his Red Bull future amid links♍ to the Aston Martin team.

The 65-year-old’s future has been the subject of intense speculation i🔯n recent months after first being linked with Ferrari amid rumours about a possible Red Bull exit.

Newey’s future was brought back into💦 the limelight after Autosport rep🌠orted that Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll had presented a “big-money” contract offer in an attempt to poach him from Red Bull.

Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack moved to pour cold water ꦯon the reports over the Japanese Grand Prix weekend by insi❀sting he is “quite happy” with the Silverstone outfit’s current technical line-up.

Asked specifically by Sky Sports F1 if Aston Martin had made an “astronomical” bid for Newey, Krack replie🐷d: "No... We have a very strong technical team with Dan, with Tom, with Luca. We were joined lately by Bob Bell. So, we're quite happy with what♈ we have, at the moment.”

Newey has now commented on the speculation surrounding his future for the first time, though his ambiguous response will do little to quell the rumours after he fa♐iled to categorically rule out leaving Red Bull.

“I enjoy [it],” Newey told “Ever since I was 10 or so, certainly by 12, I wanted to be a ꦬdesigner - I don’t think I knew the word ‘engineer’ - in motor racing, and ideally, Formula 1.

“That's what I [put] all my teenage years🌳 towards. I managed to get that first jo❀b in motor racing when I graduated.

“I’ve hugely enjoyed it, 💦and I continue to enjoy it. So I think as long as I continue to enjoy it and the team wants me then I’ll continue to do it for the moment and then we'll have to see in the future.

“I don't tend to plan too far forward.”

Newey’s cars have won a total of 25 F1 world cha💎mpionships (12 constructors’ and 13 drivers’) since 1992.

He has largely been credited for Red Bull’s current spe🗹ll of success, with last year’s RB19 being the most dominant car in F1 history, winning 21 o🐼ut of 22 races.

Red Bull already appear on course to win both world championships for a third straight year in 2024, haꦇvi꧋ng won three of the opening four rounds.
