Overview
- Red Bull confirmed on January 6 that Gianpiero Lambiase will continue in his dual roles for the upcoming season.
- Rival interest from Aston Martin and Williams has been reported, though any move is viewed as a longer‑term possibility rather than imminent.
- Lambiase’s contract with Red Bull runs to the end of 2027, which could limit near‑term transfers without a negotiated release or gardening leave.
- His absences from the Austrian and Belgian Grands Prix and visible emotion after Abu Dhabi had prompted speculation about a role change.
- Red Bull’s wider staff picture is evolving, with strategist Will Courtenay now at McLaren and performance engineer Tom Hart set to join Williams in 2027 after completing 2026 with Red Bull.
