Last month it was reported that Aston Martin had approached the 65-year-old with a “big-money” contract offer toജ tryꦚ and tempt him away from Red Bull.
Newey has now been tipped to potentially return to McLaren, where he worked from 1997 uꦡntil joinin♐g Red Bull in 2005.
“I just wonder, what would happen if Adrian [Newey] was looking around and was thinking about McLaren as a team to go to,” 1996 world champion Hill saiಌd on Sky Sports F1.
“They’ve already shown t🍨hat they’re going in the right direction, they’re definitely a team on the ﷺmake.”
Newey won both world championships with McLaren with the first car🐓 he designed for the British squad in 1998, while its predecessor took Mika Hakkineꦐn to the world championship in 1999.

“That’s what I [put] all my teenage years towards. I managed to get that first job in༺ motor racing when I graduated.
“I’ve hugely enjoyed i💞t, and I conti🍌nue to enjoy it.
“So I think as long as I continue to enjoy it and the team wants🐻 me then I’ll continue to d꧑o it for the moment and then we’ll have to see in the future.
“I don’t tend to plan too far forward.”
