Speculation is rife that another key member of staff is about to leave Mclaren to join Red Bull Racing. Chief Aerodynamicist, Peter Prodromou, is the subject of this speculation. If the rumours are true, Prodromou will team up alongside former colleague Adrian Newey.

When Newey defected from McLaren to Red Bull, the Woking squad commented that although losing Newey was a disappointment, the strength in depth of their design squad meant that it wouldn't create a vacuum.

With Prodromou seeming set to go, and with rumours persisting that Director of Vehicle Projects Nikolas Tombazis, is on his way back to Ferrari, Mclaren may have lost the 3 most important men in their design department.
