Renault would have lost its long-time chief designer Tim Densham, which, at 56, decided to step down for personal reasons and intends to retire, according to Greek website gocar.gr.
Densham, who worked closely with Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso during his championships years at Renault, was first linked with a move to the Maranello-based team but the gossips would be wrong.
Deputy Martin Tolliday would have taken the position of Densham at Renault while Athens-born Nikolas Tombazis remains chief designer at Ferrari.
Meanwhile Adrian Newey has refused to rule out a possible switch from Red Bull to Ferrari in the future.
Amid the Italian team's current struggles to catch up with dominant Red Bull, it has been suggested the first move by Ferrari should be a new high-price offer for the energy drink-owned team's gifted designer.
"I don't know what I'm going to do at some point in the future, I have no idea," said Newey. "There are several teams looking to me and once I conclude the project here at Red Bull, I will look at the offers.
"But if I did do something else, I think it would be something very different from F1," he concluded.
