Newey announced earlier this week that he will be leaving his current Red Bull outfit at the start of next year, having grown unhappy about many aspects of working there over the past few months.
The arrangement that Newey has reached with Red Bull means he will be a free agent from March 2025, which has opened the door for several teams to try to get hold of his services.
While Newey is thought to be undecided about what he does next, he has been most strongly linked with a move to Ferrari that wants to get him on board to help boost its hopes following the arrival of Lewis Hamilton at the start of 2025.
Ferrari is not alone in being interested in Newey though, with it emerging recently that Aston Martin has made a big-money offer for him to join its operations.
And now Williams has thrown its hat into the ring, with team boss James Vowles explaining that he had discussions with Newey last week once it became clear that he was on his way out of Red Bull.
Speaking exclusively to Autosport about the situation, Vowles said: “I've known Adrian for a while anyway, and I spoke to him Friday. I'm sure we'll be talking again, very shortly as well.
