McLaren have pinched Gianpiero Lambiase from Red Bull
Zak Brown, a sports journalist who has been covering motorsport since 2023, has welcomed the Brit Gianpiero Lambiase to his team at McLaren F1. Despite Lambiase not officially joining until 2028, Brown is excited for their future collaboration. Lambiase, who works as head of racing and as Max Verstappen’s race engineer at Red Bull, is set to become McLaren’s chief racing officer under team principal Andrea Stella. This move has sparked speculation about Verstappen’s potential future at Red Bull and in Formula 1, as teams like McLaren are looking to attract top talents. Brown’s decision to bring in Lambiase could be seen as a strategic move to entice Verstappen should he consider changing teams in the future.
