Lambiase emotional after difficult year
Marko’s future is not the only question mark heading into the winter break. Immediately after the Abu Dhabi GP, Gianpiero Lambiase appeared emotional on the Red Bull pitwall. It’s linked to personal conditions, which made this a particularly difficult year for the Italian and caused him to miss the Austrian and Belgian rounds. Simon Rennie stepped in for those weekends as Verstappen’s race engineer.
Autosport has learned in the paddock that Lambiase’s specific role for next year is not yet fixed. Because of the private circumstances mentioned, it is a topic that Red Bull will discuss over the winter. Should the team find a suitable race engineer for Verstappen and a structure that all parties are comfortable with, Lambiase could potentially step back from his race engineering duties and continue at Red Bull in a more senior position - reportedly still trackside.
Team insiders emphasise that no decision has been made, and that given the situation, it may not be wise to make any quick choices during this difficult period.
Regarding Lambiase’s emotions, Verstappen said immediately after the race: “It’s been an emotional year. Forget about the results this year and I don’t want to go too much into detail, but it’s been tough. But I’m very happy to be able to work with someone that passionate. Of course, he is my race engineer, but I see him as my friend. We have lived through so many emotional things together and fantastic achievements.
“I’m sure he was a bit emotional after the flag. So, I’m really looking forward to leaving here and catching up with him because it’s not been easy at times for him. I’m just very proud to be able to work with someone that good. A proper example of someone that never gave up this season, even through the difficult times.”
