The Aston Martin driver had been tenuously linked with the reigning constructors&#8217; champions earlier this season as a potential replacement for Sergio Perez.<\/p>\n<p>Newey has been responsible for masterminding some of the most iconic cars in the history of the sport with his Williams designs of 1996 and 1997 helping to topple Michael Schumacher and Benetton and his most recent masterpiece, the RB19, creating F1 history with the most dominant season of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to BBC Sport ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi, Newey was asked about his F1 personnel regrets, to which he replied: \u201cWell, clearly first and foremost to have had a longer relationship with Ayrton [Senna]. In terms of drivers, Fernando is one I have always [had].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When reminded of the discussions that took place between Red Bull and Alonso after the 2013 Belgian Grand Prix, Newey replied: \u201cYou have a good memory. That&#8217;s a regret that that never happened because I have a tremendous respect for Fernando.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Mick Schumacher lands 2024 drive as Lewis Hamilton back-up gets new gig[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The truth is, first of all, I try to live in the present and the future and not the past. Regrets? No. I just feel tremendously lucky to have had the opportunities I&#8217;ve had and to have worked with the people I have done and met the people I have done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, rumours were sparked after the Mexican Grand Prix that the two parties could be heading for a shock link-up at Red Bull with paddock murmurings suggesting that the Milton Keynes-based team were prepared to oust Perez in favour of bringing Alonso in.<\/p>\n<p>These rumours arrived at a time when Perez\u2019s form was hitting rock bottom. The Mexican failed to finish his home race after crashing out on the opening lap, while Aston Martin and Alonso suffered a drastic dip in form that wouldn\u2019t recover until the grid arrived in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> More F1&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>F1 team boss set for new role with TV comedy show in America[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Lewis Hamilton &#8216;held Red Bull talks&#8217; as F1 chiefs calm terrorist attack fears[HAMILTON] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>F1 pundit makes concerning comment about Toto Wolff after Las Vegas GP[WOLFF] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Sergio-Perez-Red-Bull-5080634.jpg?r=1700730893189\"><\/p>\n<p>Alonso was furious when informed of the rumours ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix, stating: &#8220;I am not enjoying [it] because even in this room, I appreciate that all of you are journalists, professional people, that have been in F1 for so many years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You gain your respect, and this is how it should be.
