Adrian Newey and Lewis Hamilton will not form a dream team at F🌸errari next year, according to the latest claims.

The battle to acquire the genius of Newey continues to rage 🥀inside the F1 paddock but Ferrari are ▨“out of the race”,  reports.

Ferrari were the original hot favourites to land the services of Newey, the outgℱoing Red Bull chief technology officer.

It would have rཧesulteౠd in a link-up with Hamilton, who Newey has previously admitted his regret at never having worked with.

But although Hamilton will wear red in 2025, “it seems that Newey isn’t heading to Italy”🎶, the report states.

Two team tug-of-war

Aston Martin and Alpineꦗ are named as the ✨two F1 teams battling over Newey.

McLaren had previously ruled themselves out while Mercedes were never significan🌟tly in the mix.

“Aston Martin are believed to be leading the chase,” F1.com reported frꦍom this weekend’s Ita♋lian Grand Prix at Monza.

Team owner Lawrence Stroll shot down a cheeky queไs๊tion from Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle last weekend at Zandvoort about signing Newey.

But Stroll has brought in🤡 former Mercedes man Andy Cowell as CEO, and ex-Ferrari chief Enrico Cardile as chief technical officer.

In addition to Aston Martin’s new Silvers🔜tone HQ and their Honda part𝓰nership from 2026, the allure of the team is clear.

But As🥀ton Martin face competit🔯ion from another big character within F1.

Flavio Briatore, newly the executive advisor to Alpine, is “keen” to bring Newey to Enstone, F1.cꦜom reports.

“Everything is possible,” Briatore previously said about the dream signing🌄 of F1’s best-ever car design𒉰er.

Newey’s availability next year꧃ gives him time to influence the 2026 car for his new employer, giving them a key 🦹edge in the development war.
