The last week of news has been relentless for Red Bull. The team confirmed the departure of Adrian Newey, as well as the shocking news that he would be able to sign with another team immediately, before heading to America for the Miami Grand Prix. Then Max Verstappen placed second in an upset, with McLaren's Lando Norris earning his first career F1 victory. Now, Christian Horner is fending off the vultures.
On Friday, McLaren F1 CEO Zak Brown spoke to reporters and suggested Newey may not be the last to leave Red Bull in the wake of the Horner sexual misconduct scandal from earlier this year. Per Motorsport.com, Brown said he was "not surprised" to hear of Newey's departure and more might follow in his footsteps.
"Am I surprised? Six months ago, I would have been surprised," Brown said. "But given everything that's gone on since the start of the year and knowing Adrian pretty well, and he's a very high-integrity individual, I'm not surprised he's moving on.
