Maybe, yeah... It's time for a shake up for sure. I don't think Claire makes any technical or design decisions, she probably just runs the company at a higher level and hustles for sponsorship, but ultimately the buck stops with her... They have Paddy Lowe who was essentially running the World champion Mercedes for a few years before Toto rose up... He might be on his way out (rumors? I read something about it recently). Smedley also left and that was probably a loss... Seems Williams is the team you move to in order to to kill your career... So yeah maybe you are right...
It does sound like big names are leaving - realistically they've been nowhere near the front since the Hill/Villeneuve era, with brief flashes in the Bmw era with Montoya probably due to the engine/driver more than a stellar chassis...They also killed Zanardi's career if I recall... I still am completely baffled as to how Crashdonaldo scored a win that day in Spain. If I believed in conspiracies......
