Zak Brown was quick to nip Laurent Mekies’ comments in the bud after the Red Bull boss suggested Gianpiero Lambiase would become McLaren’s new team principal.
McLaren’s Zak Brown denied Laurent Mekies’ claim about Gianpiero Lambiase becoming team principal, suggesting Red Bull’s boss might be privy to undisclosed information.
Brown expressed his faith in Andrea Stella, acknowledging Lambiase’s future involvement but emphasizing his satisfaction with Stella’s leadership.
Upon Lambiase’s arrival at McLaren as chief racing officer in 2028, discrepancies arose when his current employer mistakenly mentioned a possible change in Max Verstappen’s race engineer’s job title.
Speculations about Stella potentially moving back to Ferrari to take over Fred Vasseur’s position circulated, though no concrete evidence supports these rumors.
Despite external chatter, Brown affirmed his contentment with Stella’s performance and highlighted Lambiase’s exceptional talents, citing their commitment to bolstering the team with top-tier expertise.
