Mount the TV directly to the red brick. You will be fine.
Our TV is mounted above the fireplace directly to the chimney brick, 'red'.

Get a hammer drill, the proper size masonry bit and your good. Try to drill into the brick, not the mortar. The brick is easier and holds just fine.
If your tv is only 40 lbs and you are using 4 lags that is only 10lbs a piece.
I was here every day while the house was being built.

The bricks in the first pic are extras.

Trust me, the bricks are not solid.
