He left the team in 2006—alongside Adrian Newey—for Red Bull Racing. Prodromou worked as Head of Aerodynamics for the team until his departure in 2014.[1]

In 2023, he replaced James Key, promoted to the new role of Technical Director (Aerodynamics).[4][better source needed][5] In February 2025, Prodromou's contract at McLaren was extended on a multi-year agreement.[6]
