Alpine have entered the hunt to re🦩cruit the in-demand Adrian Newey.

The battle fo💧r hi🐻s signature has long been predominantly between Aston Martin and Ferrari but it seems he has additional options too.

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

Newey is “evaluating h🍃is options”, the report says, w🍰hich include an offer on the table from Aston Martin and interest from his former team Williams.

But the addition of Enstone-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, meani🔯ng 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 employe🌊rs hoping he could turn them into the sport’s dominant force.

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

“Alpine was a little b💝it in the corner, nobody was talking about Alpine anymore, you know w🅰hat I mean?

“Now we are there, we have the finance, we have the support from the chairman, we have a big group b🌟ehind us and should something 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 an ego trip, I take th🥂is engineerꦐ, I take this engineer, because one man is not changing the team; we have plenty of examples like that when people buy everything.

“You don’t buy the culture; the culture to win you don’t𝔉 buy, you buy whatever y▨ou want.

“We have plenty of peop🍷le who buy, buy, buy 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.

Alpine, inℱ additiꦉon to bringing in Briatore, have added Oliver Oakes as team principal.

They will give rookie driver Ja꧒ck Doohan a chance in 2025 alongside Pierre Gasly.
