Vienna – Four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen is losing another person he trusts at Red Bull Racing. According to consistent media reports, Gianpiero Lambiase, the Dutchman’s long-time racing engineer, will leave the Austro racing team at the end of the 2027 season and move to McLaren. This should also fuel the question of Verstappen’s future. “He talks more about the Nürburgring than about Formula 1,” said Helmut Marko on Thursday.
