If red bull have circumvented paying for Adrian Newey's salary by calling him a contractor that doesn't work on car development, this truly is egregious. Either they drop the hammer on red bull, or risk all teams using a similar workaround.
Regardless of any minor overspend that was arguably done just by "meals", Adrian's salary is another $10 million right off the top given how critical he is to red bull. Plenty of co-employment discrepancies that will easily poke holes through any attempt to justify this.
Even what Zach Brown has mentioned in terms of corrective action I would say is nowhere near harsh enough if what is rumored about Newey is true.
