Long-time Formula 1 race engineer to Max Verstappen, Gianpiero Lambiase, will continue in his role despite coup attempts from Aston Martin and Williams to secure his signature. Lambiase has been an integral part of Verstappen’s inner circle, working with him since his race-winning debut in 2016. Despite other key team members being lured away by rivals, Lambiase has stayed loyal to Red Bull. Rumours of offers from Williams and Aston Martin for senior leadership positions swirled, but Lambiase’s contract runs until 2027 and he will remain with Red Bull in 2026. Red Bull aims to maintain stability as it launches new challengers and partners with Ford for their power units in the upcoming season.
