McLaren🌞 are reportedly not pushing for Adrian Newey as much as the♚ir rivals.

The availability of the man behind the🌠 creation of Red Bull’s championship-winning cars has alerted riva🍷l F1 teams.

McLaren delivered a reminder of their growing authority when La꧑ndo Norris won his first F1 grand prix in Miami l💞ast weekend.

But, a move to recruit Newey to speไarhead the next phase of their project is not anticipated.

“I’m sure they’d considering him, but the mood music 🌌coming out of McLaren is not that of a team pursuing Newey hard,” the reported.

The cost of New𝔍ey - coupled with the fact that he does not work💫 full-time - means that any team moving for him must consider it carefully.

“The feeling” is that Ferrari are⛄ in “pole position” to land Newey’s servi🦄ces.

His negotiation with Red Bull to end his contract early and remove any ‘gardening leave’ clauses is🐷 reportedly a key indicator that he intends to start work at a new F1 team.

Newey will formally depart Red Bull in early-2025 which will giv🙈e him time to look at the 2026 car for any new employer.

The new F1 regulations begin in 202🃏6 so recruiting the sport’s most respected car designer would be a major coup, and could kickstart a period of dominance for whoever lands him.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown said: “Adrian is going 𓂃to add value to any racin♑g team.

“But we are vღery happy with the trajectory that ไwe are on.

“Never say never! But I'm very happy with the team, the technical leadership, the way Andrea ✃Stella is running the🅘 racing team.”
