Red Bull has responded to a dig made by McLaren CEO Zak Brown in relation to the departure of Adrian Newey.
Red Bull has refuted McLaren CEO Zak Brown’s suggestion that Adrian Newey’s departure marked the beginning of a team exodus, stating that all technical leaders have committed to long-term contracts. Newey will leave Red Bull Racing after 19 years, but will stay with the company until 2025 for the hypercar project. Brown believes Newey’s exit could trigger further departures due to internal destabilization since an investigation into allegations against team principal Christian Horner. However, Red Bull remains unimpressed with Brown’s remarks and confidently stated they do not anticipate significant losses or a domino effect. The team emphasized that their technical leadership team is stable and committed to Red Bull Racing.
