Max Verstappen’s race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase h🌱as rebuffed interest from McLa﷽ren and Ferrari, we understand.

McLaren made an offer to re🍒cruit Lambiase which he rejected, according to our sources.

More recently, Italian media report💫ed that Ferrari tried to tempt Lambiase to Maranello.

Moving to Ferrari might have resulted in Lambiase becoming Lewis Hamilton’s race engin💫eer in 2025.

But Lamꦕbiase has ignored both option▨s and remains fully committed to Red Bull.

He has been in Verstappen’s ear for the mighty Dutchman’s entire time at Red Bull since🐭 2015.

Lambiase previously worked at Jordan/Midland/Force India but has become a vital cog in the dominant Red Bull era, and plans to stay and help them back on cou📖rse.

Lambiase🌸 is the he𒅌ad of race engineering at Red Bull.

Red Bull have lost some sign𒀰ificant figures recently.

Jonathan Wheatley will lꦛeave his job as sporting director to become Audi team principal, while car design genius Adrian Newey is also notably exiting.

Rob Marshall previously joined McLaren, whose CEO Zak Brown cheekily claimed he was receiving mult🥃iple CVs from Red Bull staff.

But Red Bull ha𓃲ve clung onto many important people, too, including Lambiase.

Engꩲineers Paul Monaghan﷽ and Ben Waterhouse, head of aerodynamics Enrico Balbo and technical director Pierre Wache have all penned new contracts.

Lambiase will remain in their ranks, sticking with Verstappen rather than being tempted to work al🥃ongside Hamilton in his upcoming Ferrari era.
