Gianpiero Lambiase has admitted that his driver Max Verstappen has been “bored” during some of his dominant F1 wins this season.
Max Verstappen, the three-time world champion, has won an impressive 17 out of the 20 races held so far this year, often with a significant lead over his closest competitor. However, Verstappen’s race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase, has noticed that at times during the races, Verstappen seems to lose interest. Despite leading by 30 seconds, Lambiase stays focused and takes everything seriously, while Verstappen appears to relax and wants to chill out. Their relationship has been marked by confrontational exchanges over team radio, notably during the Belgian Grand Prix, where Verstappen suggested doing extra pit stop training and putting on fresh tires for a bonus fastest lap point, but Lambiase disagreed with Christian Horner. Verstappen clarifies that their fiery conversations are not fake arguments but rather a way for them both to strive for the best possible result while maintaining respect for each other.
