Adrian Newey will have at least four options to join another F1 team buღt the political nature of the chase to recruit him has been laid bare.

The exit of Re൩d Bull’s chief technical officer has got half of the paddock on high-alert at this weekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix.

The car design genius has been coy about his future despite strong links 𒐪to Ferrari, where he would find Lewis Hamilton in 2025.

Martin Bru🍒ndle told Sky Sports about Newey’s options: “I’m sure they are all trying to talk to him. If they’re not, they’re not doing their job pro🀅perly.

“To use Adri✃an’s experience, you need a lot of budget and a lot of resource to make use of him.

“There’s no point having him there with the ideas, if you ca🌊n’t put them on the race track.

♏“I’m sure🌠 Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin and Mercedes are pushing hard and exploring opportunities.

“Those teams will say they’re notꦗ, because they♎ don’t want to upset the team they’ve already got.

“And if they don’t get him, they don’t want to look lik😼e they’ve lost him.

“I know two𓄧 of those teams are p▨ushing hard and making him offers.”

It is understood that Newey will🍒 formally depart Red Bull in early-2025 and could immediately join a new team, giving🌠 him time to oversee the first 2026 cars (when the new F1 regulations kick in).

Does Adrian Newey want to live in Italy?

Ferrari have faile🍒d with multiple swoops for Newey in the past, on the basis that he has not wanted to uproot and go to Italy.

Aston Martin, Mercedꦯes or McLaren could offer him the chance to remai𒁃n UK-based.

But Newey supposedly met with F෴errari꧅ team principal Fred Vasseur in London, the night before his exit from Red Bull was confirmed.

Jenson Button said about Newey moving to Ferrari: “If he doesn’t have to live 💛in Italy, pos🔴sibly.

“At this point in his life and cꦡareer, it’s a big move to move to Italy and Maranello. So I’d be surprised.

“He’s never going to be the ♐chief designer of a car again. It’s more that he’ll jump in to say: ‘It shouldn🌌’t be like this…’”

But Brundl🍃e insists that location will not play a ma🅷jor part in Newey’s next decision.

“Rory Byrne still works at Ferrari,” Br🍸undle said. “He’𓃲s 80 and he lives in Thailand!

“A lot of w🍬ork th🍸at Adrian has done for Red Bull has been from his place in Cape Town. In today’s digital world…”

Brundle added: “Can you imagine him in a motorhome with his dogs and Amanda? He’ll be redesigning the motorꦓhome!”
