Lambiase departure: Is Red Bull undergoing a complete metamorphosis?
© Xavi Bonilla / DPPI
For nearly twenty years, the mechanics Red Bull was perfectly oiled. A compact structure, clearly defined responsibilities, and, above all, a rare continuity of personnel in a sport marked by instability.

Alain is right, RBR vehemently denied the rumors of Lambiase's departure at the end of the 2025 season, and now it's a reality for 2028. Max will undoubtedly follow him to whichever team he lands on; all that's left is Hannah Schmitz's departure to seal the deal, because in that case, race management risks resembling that of F4. Mr. Christian (of the Bounty rebels) and the good (?) Dr. Helmout must be having a good laugh!

I can't understand why RDB abandoned Honda? But maybe Stroll's dad had something to do with it???

Like any company, Red Bull Racing faces cycles and crises. One cycle has ended, and another is beginning with new management and governance. Laurent Mekiès is right to say: "Our first task is to provide the best possible working environment for our employees so they can perform to the best of their ability. If we can achieve this, we will have the best attraction and the best retention rate in the pit lane." He must therefore certainly have one of his annual personal objectives linked to the retention rate of RBR employees, while viewing these successive departures as a real opportunity to promote new internal talent (and reduce his wage bill, as it's less expensive than poaching from outside)!

It would be worrying if some amateurs join. If not, all the better for them.

Very worrying for the future of RBR… and if Max… leaves, I fear it will be the end for RBR… I hope not…!!! 😎👀🧐
