Martin Brundle isn't joining the list of naysayers predicting the demise of Red Bull following Adrian Newey's exit, but there is one key element.
Following confirmation of Adrian Newey ’s departure, Martin Brundle believes Red Bull have to ensure they don’t also lose Max Verstappen or a “cascade” of other key personnel.
“Adrian Newey, I think he’s going to do some engineering meetings this year and a half dozen Grands Prix, but he’s not going to be actively involved now in the Formula 1 team per se, especially with the big 2026 regulation changes coming up, where I think his experience and knowledge would be quite key.“So for me, the key here, the key element is will there be a cascade of other personnel leaving the team? I’m not sure there will be.
“So I think as long as they don’t lose Max Verstappen and it’s not a house of cards with a lot of other key personnel, I think they’ll survive it.”Adrian Newey’s gardening leave explained: How F1 legend will spend his final days at Red Bull As for what could’ve been the final straw, that’s speculation, but as Brundle put it, “something” has made him want to walk away from the championship-winning team.
