On the Bloomberg Hot Pursuit podcast, McLaren Racing boss Zak Brown spoke again about the situation at Red Bull…
Zac Brown: “Red Bull is in a toxic environment right now. The departure of Adrian Newey plays an important role in this, as many have worked with him from the beginning. I mentioned that we receive resumes from their employees. This happens all the time, but what you’re seeing now is a higher level of discomfort. I think in the future it will be more difficult for them and for sponsors: they will carefully check who they are associated with. The situation is not easy.
It is not clear what is going on with Verstappen. Does he stay or does he go? Max has a contract, but his father is quite open. Red Bull is a great racing team, but it is destabilized. This can be seen in Newey’s departure.
Like I said, this is an incredible team, but in my opinion they are not as strong as they used to be. If you look at who is really making progress, it is Ferrari and McLaren. But things can change quickly, so we can’t keep our heads in the clouds.”
