Four-time world champion Max Verstappen has revealed his first impressions after securing a sprint victory at Spa-Francorchamps.
Red Bull Racing Formula One driver Max Verstappen has opened up on his first race weekend with new CEO and team principal Laurent Mekies after his Belgian Grand Prix sprint race victory. Verstappen also revealed his experience of working with interim race engineer Simon Rennie, since his full-time race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase (GP), was away for personal reasons.
The sprint race marked Verstappen and Red Bull’s first race without ousted team principal Christian Horner. Mekies replaced Horner after the British Grand Prix. Lambiase is absent for this weekend, and it is unclear if he will return for the following weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
Rennie, who has been the race engineer for Daniel Ricciardo in the past and is Red Bull’s group leader of simulation engineering, will take over Lambiase’s duties in supporting Verstappen.
