Zak Brown Hints Gianpiero Lambiase Could Join McLaren Earlier than Expected
Zak Brown said the chief racing officer could arrive a year earlier than expected as McLaren plans to welcome him when his contract ends.
- McLaren CEO Zak Brown is optimistic that Gianpiero Lambiase could join the team in 2027, potentially accelerating his arrival by one year from the originally scheduled 2028 date.
- Earlier this year, McLaren announced Lambiase would join as chief racing officer reporting to team principal Andrea Stella, following his contract with Red Bull.
- Oracle Red Bull Racing officially confirmed Lambiase will leave in 2028 when his current contract expires, though reports indicate he would remain integral to Max Verstappen's team until late 2027.
- Tom Hart, Verstappen's performance engineer, will become race engineer as Red Bull simultaneously signed former Aston Martin engineer Tom McCullough as head of racing.
- McLaren's substantial gains this year following a difficult start have bolstered the team's momentum, positioning the factory favorably as it prepares for Lambiase's potential 2027 integration at the MTC.
