Star designer Adrian Newey has announced he is
leaving next year and McLaren boss Zak Brown told reporters at
the weekend's Miami Grand Prix that resumes were flying around
and Newey was the first domino to fall.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who has been making overtures to Red
Bull's triple world champion Max Verstappen with Ferrari-bound
Lewis Hamilton's seat to fill, said his team had "seen Red Bull
CVs through all of the levels."
Horner told reporters after Sunday's race, with McLaren's Lando
Norris taking his first win, that there would always be movement
between teams.
"I don’t know how many people we’ve employed from McLaren this
year or how many people VCARB (Red Bull's RB sister team) have
employed (from) Mercedes," he added.
"We’ve taken 220 people, 220 out of HPP (Mercedes AMG's High
Performance Powertrains) into Red Bull Powertrains, so when
we’re talking of losing people, I’d be a bit more worried about
the 220 than maybe one or two CVs."
Red Bull are building their own powertrain for 2026, when the
sport undergoes a major engine rule change, with a major
expansion at their Milton Keynes facility.
