Red Bull ace Max Verstappen has claimed 2 championship titles and has proved himself to be an exceptional talent on the grid.
Verstappen has received massive support from his team in his run for the championship and especially from his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase.
However, it’s not just the driver-engineer that the duo shares. Red Bull boss Christian Horner exposed the duo’s relationship in an interview with Paul di Resta.
The team boss said that Lambiase is an emotional guy. He manages Verstappen in the car by pouring him all the information that he needs to be on the track.
But sometimes, the Dutchman is managing Lambiase on the pit wall. It’s a good relationship. Sometimes it’s like being in a series of ‘Love Island’ which GP is addicted to,” he further added.
