Things are moving at Red Bull. While going through a difficult period without a single victory in the last 7 Grands Prix, the Austrian team is redistributing its forces internally at the dawn of the next campaign. It is in particular the sporting management department that has been reworked after Jonathan Wheatley's departure confirmed, expected at Sauber/Audi in a team principal role.

Thus, his position will no longer be occupied by a single person, Red Bull having decided to distribute the forces between three members already present within the team as reported by Dutch journalist Erik van Haren : Gianpiero Lambiase, Steve Knowles and Rich Wolverson.

The first one is the best known, due to his position as a racing engineer for Max Verstappen in addition to being responsible for race engineering at Red Bull. Now, GP will be responsible for the Austrian team's competition, overseeing the sporting side of the structure.

This will not, however, imply any change to the Dutch driver he led to his three world titles. Indeed, Gianpiero Lambiase will retain his position as Max Verstappen's race engineer in 2025.

After a double role for Gianpiero Lambiase, a third has been added to him, a sign of difficult times because the responsibilities of each have increased... unlike the salary, most likely!
