Alpine hav🥃e entered the hunt to recruit the in-demand Adrian Newey.

The battle for his signature has long been predominantly betweeꦺn Aston Martin and Ferrari but it seems he has additional options too.

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

Newey is “evaluating his options”, the🍷 report says, which include an offer on the table from Aston Martin and interest from his former team Williams.

But the addition of E𝓡nstone-based Alpine adds a fascinating new layer to the future of F1’s most coveted individual.

Newey will leave his job as Red Bull chiܫef technology officer early next year, meaning he could join a new F1 team in enough time to influence their 2026 car.

That means Newey could yet be influential in the upcomin🍬g F1 regulation change, with prospective em﷽ployers hoping he could turn them into the sport’s dominant force.

“As wel🍃l, you are in the market, you are in the b♌usiness, you are talking people.

“Alpine was a littl🐻e bit in the corner, nobody was talking about Alpine anymore, you know what I mean?

“Now we are there, we have the finance, we have theౠ support from the chairman, we have a big group behind us and should something happen that’s a good possibility we do it, as simple as tha༺t.

“But only if it’s good for the team.

“And then it’s not an ego t𒆙rip, I take this engineer, 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’💦t buy, yಌou buy whatever you want.

“We have plenty of people 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, in addition to bringing in Briatore, have ad♓ded Oliver Oakes as team principal.

They will give rookie driver Jack Doohan a c🌠hance in 2025 alongside Pierre🐠 Gasly.
