Red Bull poach Ferrari star after GP exit
A former Red Bull F1 legend revealed that a replacement for Gianpiero Lambiase has been signed by the team, who will be joining McLaren in 2028. This move will lead Lambiase to become McLaren’s chief racing officer instead of Red Bull’s head of racing or Max Verstappen’s race engineer. Red Bull has reportedly already found a replacement for Lambiase from Ferrari, as confirmed by former motorsport advisor Helmut Marko. There is speculation about Verstappen’s future at Red Bull due to the team’s poor performance and the driver’s discontent with the new 2026 regulations, leading to retirement rumors. Despite the changes, fans may still enjoy two more seasons of the Verstappen-Lambiase team radio duo until around 2028 when Lambiase is set to leave.
