Fred Vasseur has given🅺 his latest views on Ferrari’s reported pursuit of Adrian Newey from the Imola 𒐪paddock.

The famous Italian manufact🍸urer, who will welcome Lewis Hamilton in 2025, are thought to be front-runners for Newey’ꦛs coveted signature.

Newey will depart h🌄is job as chief technical officer at Red Bull early next year and is open to taking ဣa new role at a rival team.

Ferrari team principal Vasseur was asked at the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix about the noise surrounding thei💮r inter🌳est in Newey.

“We 🌞have noise, but it doesn’t matter the name. It’s 🦩noise,” Vasseur responded.

“We need to continue to improve, it’s the DNA of our business. Co🎉ntinuous improvement.

“I am pleased with the job so far but compared 🍷to Canada, we took a step forward.

“We are a bit closer to Red Bull.

“It’s not about big names. We need 🌼to pay attention on details, to focus on this.

“We will continue to develop the team, for sure.”

The Dail🎶y Mail reported ahead of the Imola round that Newey ꦛis set to join Ferrari next year.

He has either “already signed” or “soon would” si𝔍gn a contract to work at Ferrari, the newspaper wrote.

Newey ended any lingering likelihood that he might walk away from Formula 1 altogether in the past week, c♈iting an example of his father who retired too early and later regretted it.

Newey confirmed he would likely be🌸 back in the F1 paddock wearing different colours.

Charles Leclerc v Carlos Sainz

Vasseur was quizzed about the rᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚelationship between his drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

Leclerc will start the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix from third, o🎉ne 💧place ahead of his teammate.

Sainz has lost his 2025 seat at Ferrari to make room f🌠or Hamilton, who will form an exciting d🔜uo with Leclerc.

But Sainz is also responsible for Ferrari’s two most recent grand prix wins, in Sing𓆏apore in 2023 and Au🧜stralia this year.

Vasseur does not recognise either Lecler♊c or Sainz as his No𓆏 1 driver.

He commented on the🎃ir ongoing competition: “This is part of th꧑e results of the team.

“We have a positive imulation between them.

“Last year, Carlos did a fantastic job in September🌠. He got the podium in Monza, he won in Singapore.

“This pushed Charles to be back in the last part of 𝔉the🐻 season.

“We need to keep this. It is part of the result.

“Look at McLaren, they have the same kind of positive imulaဣtion and internal competition between Oscar and Lando.

“I think it’s part of the game.”
