Worth remembering that Williams went from championship dominance to not winning another title and Mclaren only won 1 more title after Adrian left.... The sport has changed of course but fascinated to see the effect on RBR.

With Newey’s departure, it will be as many as three people parting ways with the Milton-Keynes-based team within a year. The unrest and the controversy surrounding Christian Horner could be one of the reasons according to the speculations. Max Verstappen could also possibly be on the move as well.
