Max Verstappen’s esteemed F1 race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase will join McLaren from Red Bull in 2028, throwing the Dutchman’s future with the team into serious doubt.
British-Italian engineer Lambiase, who has worked with Verstappen since the driver’s Red Bull debut in 2016, will link up with McLaren as Chief Racing Officer, a role to support current team principal Andrea Stella. Lambiase, 45, was linked with moves to Aston Martin and Williams in the off-season.
