Aston Martin have moved to shut down rumours the team have made an ‘astronomical bid’ to try and recruit Red Bull F1 design genius Adrian Newey.

A recent report in Autosport claimed that Red Bull’s legendary car designer had been offered a “big-mo🐬ney contract” over the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix wee🔯kend.

The rumoured attempt tꦗo lure Newey away from Milton Keynes is viewed as the next part of ambitious Aston Mart🐬in owner Lawrence Stroll’s plan to turn his outfit into an F1 superpower.

It has also been suggested that such a move might help convince star driver and two-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso to agree a contract renewal with Aston Martin.

However, Aston Martin team principal Mi🐼ke Krack appeared to rule out poaching Newey at the Japanese Grand Prix.

When asked 𒅌by Sky if there was any truth to the reports of an ‘astronomical bid’ for the 65-year-old, Krack replied bluntly: “No.”

H🔥e added: “We have a very strong technical team with Dan [Fallows, technical director], with Tom [McCollough, performance director], with Luca [Furbatto, engineering director].

“We’ve been joined lately by Bob Bell. So we are quite happy with⛦ what we have at the moment.”

Newey’s importance to Red Bull was praised by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen ahead of this weekend’s race at Suzuka.

"We have a lot of people working on the car right, so it's a whole🅷 team effort that has to come together,” Red Bull’s  thඣree-time world champion said.

"E𓄧veryone's ideas get taken into account anꦛd you build the car that we have today, so yeah for sure, having someone part of the team like Adrian, I think it's a massive boost for everyone and many people work together to achieve the car we have today."
