F1元世界王者のジャック・ビルヌーブは、主要な人材の流出と競争力の低下により、レッドブルは困難な再建に直面していると警告した。
ビルヌーブは、バルセロナ・カタルーニャ・グランプリ後に放送されたスカイスポーツF1ショーで語った。彼はチームが「輝きを失った」と述べ、チーム内は対立に満ちた「非常に政治的な場所」になっていると表現した。カナダ出身の同氏は、クリスチャン・ホーナー、ジョナサン・ウィートリー、ヘルムート・マルコ、エイドリアン・ニューウェイといった重要人物がチームを去ったことに言及した。また、マックス・フェルスタッペンとチームのエンジンは依然として傑出した要素であると付け加えた。現在、レッドブルはコンストラクターズランキングで4位に沈んでいる。ビルヌーブは、チームが回復に向かうためには、まずリーダーシップの問題を解決しなければならないと語った。
