Zak Brown Taunts Red Bull Over Adrian Newey Amidst McLaren’s Surge in F1 Championship

Zak Brown teases Red Bull about Adrian Newey: “I imagine having him here would be quite beneficial…”

"Adrian Newey, having him in the meeting room at this moment, working on car enhancements, would probably be quite helpful…"

Zak Brown, the CEO of McLaren, thinks that the recent notable exits from Red Bull's Formula 1 team have unsettled them. He implies that the team is feeling the absence of Adrian Newey's technical expertise.

After the Italian Grand Prix, McLaren is only eight points behind Red Bull in the Formula 1 constructors' championship.

Red Bull experienced their poorest performance since last year's Singapore race, where Max Verstappen ended up in fifth place.

Red Bull has seen several important team members leave, including Rob Marshall, who moved to McLaren last year.

Prior to the Miami Grand Prix earlier this year, news broke about Newey's exit. Jonathan Wheatley is also set to depart from the team, planning to take on the role of team principal at Audi at the conclusion of 2024.

Brown has previously shown a willingness to make jokes, suggesting that numerous resumes from important Red Bull employees have been circulating as they consider departing.

After the race at Monza, Brown shared his thoughts on Red Bull in an interview with Sky Sports.

"I honestly have no clue about the internal happenings," he remarked. "Having Adrian Newey here to help brainstorm car enhancements would be great, and although Jonathan Wheatley remains, he's transitioning out. Meanwhile, Rob Marshall has come onboard with us."

"Three highly experienced and key individuals from Red Bull are leaving. Their departure will undoubtedly be felt as a significant loss."

"Everyone experiences setbacks, but it appears that things are more unsettled now than they have been in the past."

Brown reiterated that a transfer for Newey is completely off the table.

"He never fails to call me back," Brown mentioned. "We're close friends, but like I said, I'm quite satisfied with my current racing team."

Adrian Newey is likely to become a part of Aston Martin, according to Sky's David Croft, who indicated on Saturday that an announcement regarding Newey's future might be made in the coming
