Max Verstappen’s race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase has reportedly had discussions with Aston Martin regarding a possible role at the team. Lambiase has been a pivotal figure in Verstappen’s successful career, guiding him to multiple titles and victories since joining Red Bull in 2016. Speculation arose about Lambiase’s position following Verstappen’s close championship loss in Abu Dhabi, where his emotional response was noted. While it was initially thought he might transition within Red Bull, reports suggest Aston Martin is interested in recruiting him for a senior position, potentially even as CEO or Team Principal. A move to Aston Martin could also reunite Lambiase with former colleague Adrian Newey, who recently joined the team after leaving Red Bull.
