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

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

Aston Martin and Ferrari are the teams credited with the keenest inte🥂rest in bringing Newey into their factory.

But Ferrari team principal Vasseur told : “I've always said that th𝓡e g♍roup comes first.

“This applies to engineers, drivers and anyone.

“It is not the sum of talents that generates performance but a right c𝔍ombination of facto🥃rs.

“Paris Saint-Germain have always taken the best, yet they have never won the Cha🍎mpions League.

“However, we are on the right track.”

Vasseur note𒆙d that financial restrict💟ions means he prioritises a group above a singular transformative individual.

“Yes, it is a consequence of the buඣdget cap𒊎,” he said.

“Previously Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes would have spent without limits, now it's not possible 🌳and they have to be more efficient.

“Other teams, however, are used to moving with reduced reso💝urces.

“This to🌌o is a lesson and the result is a championship never seen before where eight of them can win."

Vasseur clearly stated “no” when asked if Ferr✃ari's new technical structure will🌊 be different from the one before.

However, key figures have exited Maranello.

Enrico Card🌟ile represents a major loss to Ferrari and is a huge coup for Aston Martin, who signed him as their new chief technical officer.

“Stability does not 𓄧mean keeping Cardile,” Vasseur repliಞed.

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

“We are an organisation in w💙⛎hich the collective matters more than the individual."

Vasseur backed𝔉 his existing group, without Cardile, but added: “But I a🎀m also convinced that it needs reinforcements, and in fact we have hired 60 people in 12 months without advertising.

“Finally, there is also another aspect: with the budget cap it is i🏅mpossible to always keep the same ones."
