Craig Skinner, who has served as the chief designer for Red Bull Racing, has officially left the team. This departure has been confirmed by Red Bull to Autosport, and it adds to the list of high-profile exits from the team. Skinner joined Red Bull in 2006 and stepped into the role of chief designer in 2022, where he closely collaborated with renowned designer Adrian Newey to develop the dominant RB19 car for the 2023 season, which nearly won all races. The internal shifts at Red Bull certainly raise questions about the team's future performance.

The team has faced several significant changes over the past months, including the firing of team principal Christian Horner in July. Prior to Horner's dismissal, Adrian Newey had already moved to Aston Martin, while sporting director Jonathan Wheatley left for Sauber. Furthermore, the chief strategist Will Courtenay also left Red Bull, transferring his focus to McLaren. These departures suggest a potential shake-up within the leadership structure of the team, which could affect their competitive edge moving forward.

With Max Verstappen's reign coming to a narrow end last season against Lando Norris, the implications of these changes could be vast. As Red Bull navigates this challenging period with multiple leadership shifts, stakeholders and fans alike will be eager to see how the team adapts and whether they can maintain their level of success in the upcoming Formula 1 seasons, or if these changes will hinder their performance.
