McLaren F1 CEO Zak Brown believes Adrian Newey will not be the last person🌱 to leave Red Bull after the recent controversy surrounding the team.

Newey, F1’s most successful car designer, will leave Red Bull in the first quarter of 2025 after negotiating an early exit from the team in the wake of the allegations made agܫainst team principal Christian Horner.

The 65-year-o🦋ld is believed to have become disillusioned with 💦Red Bull’s rumoured internal infighting and turmoil that has engulfed the reigning world champions since the start of the season.

Newey appeared to allude to this when aske♎d about the timing of his decision to leave Red Bull in an interview with Sky, responding: “I guess over the winter a little bit and then as events have unfolded this year”.

Speaking about New🐭ey’s impending departure, Brown said: "Am I surprised? Six months ago, I would have ♛been surprised.

"But given everything that's gone on since the start of the year anꦇd knowinꦺg Adrian pretty well, and he's a very high-integrity individual, I'm not surprised he's moving on.

"I think the stuff that's going on there is a bit destabilising. That's probably the first domino to fallไ, my guess is not the last based on the resumes that are flyi♉ng around.”

Brown claimed that McLaren🌱 have received resumes from Red Bull employees since the drama surroundin🌺g the team began.

"We have seen an increase in CVs coming our💛 way from the team and I🌞 think Adrian is the most successful designer of all time,” he said.

"So in addition to the technical [quality] that he brings to the racing team, people want to work for people like A🔜drian and work alongside him🐎.

"So I think they will be missing what he brings to the team from a pure t💜echnical point of view and then I think the leadership and the excitement people get from working with him will be missed.”

But a Red Bull spokesperson told BBC Sport: “In the past few months, all our♈ technical leadershi🦄p team have signed long-term contracts committing to Red Bull Racing.

“So we’re not sure what CVs Zak is referring to but we don’t foresee any signifi🅘cant loss and certainly not the domino effect Zak is🌊 hoping for.”

Brown appeared to play down the possibility of McLaren ꧅making a move for Newey, stressinಞg: “As far as McLaren is concerned, I'm very happy with all the work the men and women at McLaren are doing.

"I think we've sta🀅rted to show since the second half of last year that they know how to put performance on the car, so I've got all the faith in the world with the team that we have.

"We're on a quest to get back to the front and I think we have the people, the talent,❀ the equipm꧙ent, the drivers to get there. So we're going to just stay the course."
