Gianpiero Lambiase Stays Loyal to Red Bull Amid McLaren and Ferrari Courtship, Snubs Potential Hamilton Partnership

Gianpiero Lambiase turns down McLaren's approach and dismisses the idea of teaming up with Lewis Hamilton

Max Verstappen's race engineer declines offers from competing F1 teams

We've learned that Gianpiero Lambiase, Max Verstappen's race engineer, has turned down offers from both McLaren and Ferrari.

According to information obtained by our team, McLaren extended a proposal to Lambiase to join their ranks, an offer he ultimately declined.

Recently, reports from Italian outlets have suggested that Ferrari made attempts to lure Lambiase to Maranello.

Transitioning to Ferrari could have led to Lambiase taking on the role of Lewis Hamilton's race engineer by 2025.

Lambiase has dismissed all alternatives and continues to show unwavering support for Red Bull.

He has consistently advised Verstappen throughout his entire tenure with Red Bull, starting from 2015.

Lambiase, who once held a position at Jordan/Midland/Force India, has transitioned into an essential role during Red Bull's reign of dominance and intends to remain onboard to aid in steering them back on track.

Lambiase holds the position of chief race engineer at Red Bull.

Recently, Red Bull has seen the departure of several key individuals.

Jonathan Wheatley is set to depart from his role as sporting director to take on the position of team principal at Audi, alongside the noteworthy departure of car design mastermind Adrian Newey.

Rob Marshall recently became part of McLaren, with its CEO Zak Brown humorously stating that he was getting numerous resumes from Red Bull employees.

However, Red Bull has managed to retain several key individuals, Lambiase among them.

Engineers Paul Monaghan and Ben Waterhouse, along with head of aerodynamics Enrico Balbo and technical director Pierre Wache, have all signed new agreements.

Lambiase has decided to continue being part of their team, choosing to stay with Verstappen instead of being lured to collaborate with Hamilton during his forthcoming period at Ferrari.
