McLaren CEO Zak Brown has sparked buzz in the Formula 1 world, suggesting Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull Racing is just the start of a talent exodus. Newey, the mastermind behind Red Bull’s championship-winning cars, will leave the team in early 2025 amid ongoing turmoil.
Brown called the move the \"first domino to fall\" during a press conference at the Miami Grand Prix, hinting at deeper instability within Red Bull linked to allegations against team principal Christian Horner. A female employee accused Horner of sexual harassment earlier this year, though he was cleared after an internal investigation. The employee remains suspended and is appealing the decision.
\"Resumes are flying around,\" Brown added, implying other key staff might follow Newey out the door. The drama is shaking up the grid as fans wonder: Is Red Bull’s era of dominance at risk? 🔧⚡
