Red Bull racing TECHNICIAN Gianpiero Lambiase revealed that the consistency of his colleague, Max Verstappen, was the main asset in becoming Formula 1 world champion four times in a row.
“This year shows many similarities with (Verstappen’s performance) in 2021. The battle (this season) is very fierce,” said Lambiase on the Formula 1 website, Wednesday (27/11).
Verstappen defended his world title this year after finishing fifth at the Las Vegas GP last week, which was enough for him to lock up the world title. His main competitor, McLaren racer Lando Norris, only finished sixth.

“The foundation we had at the start of the year strengthened everything, but he has taken a long step which for you must have been very difficult
trusted, starting from what he does on this team with all of us, and the respect he gives to other racers,” said Lambiase.
“He also fought hard in every race. I am very proud of him,” he continued.
Lambiase and Verstappen have worked together since the Dutch driver was promoted to Red Bull in 2016. That relationship will continue next year with Lambiase’s promotion to head of the racing division.
Red Bull Team Director Christian Horner appreciated Verstappen’s relationship with Lambiase as the basis for the Dutch racer’s success, especially in the 2024 season.
“They have tried hard and (Verstappen) could not have done it without the support he got in the garage, in the team, in the factory,” concluded Horner. (Ant/Z-1)

**(INTRO MUSIC)**
Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re diving deep into the world of Formula 1 with a special guest, Gianpiero Lambiase, the Red Bull Racing technician who works closely with, and knows a lot about, champion driver Max Verstappen. Gianpiero, thanks for joining us.
**Gianpiero:** It’s my pleasure to be here.
**Host:** So, Max Verstappen recently clinched his third consecutive F1 World Championship. What makes him such a dominant force on the track?
**Gianpiero:** Well, a lot of factors contribute to Max’s success, but I really think his **consistency** is the key.
**Host:** Can you elaborate on that?
**Gianpiero:** Absolutely. Max is incredibly dedicated and focused. He’s always pushing his limits, but he also understands the importance of delivering a solid performance every single race.
Think about it, even on weekends where the car might not be perfect, he’s able to extract the maximum from it. He minimizes errors, keeps his head down, and consistently scores points.
**Host:** That’s definitely something we’ve seen throughout the season.
**Gianpiero:** Exactly. There aren’t many other drivers who, even when facing challenges, can maintain that level of unwavering consistency in performance. And that’s what ultimately helps him pull ahead in the championship battle.
**Host:** That’s a fascinating insight. Gianpiero, thank you so much for sharing your expertise and giving us a behind-the-scenes look at Max Verstappen’s success.
**Gianpiero:** My pleasure.
