Verstappen Engineer Gianpiero Lambiase Poised to Leave Red Bull as Aston Martin and Williams Pursue

Reports cite reduced travel needs as the key factor driving the move.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Lambiase is expected to step down as Max Verstappen’s race engineer, with no official confirmation of his next role.
  • The Race says he has held intensive talks with Aston Martin for a senior management position that would require less time on the road.
  • Motorsport.com reports discussions with Williams, with a sighting near the team’s Grove headquarters before Christmas.
  • Lambiase asked Red Bull to limit his travel this season and missed the Austrian and Belgian Grands Prix, where Simon Rennie covered his duties.
  • A potential switch to Aston Martin would reunite him with Adrian Newey and would follow Helmut Marko’s retirement as another major personnel change for Red Bull.
