Max Verstappen's Endorsement: Lambiase's Move from Red Bull to McLaren

Max Verstappen has publicly backed his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase's decision to transition from Red Bull to McLaren at the end of his contract in 2027. This move, spurred by an offer from McLaren that Lambiase found enticing, marks a significant change in Red Bull's team dynamics.

During a recent Viaplay event in Amsterdam, Verstappen, a four-time world champion, shared his supportive stance by stating, "You would be stupid not to do that," emphasizing the rare opportunity and long-term security for Lambiase and his family.

This personnel shift is part of a broader series of changes within Red Bull, including their technical leadership, amidst Verstappen's own contract uncertainties and reactions to new rule changes in the sport.
