Woke up this morning to see reports from multiple outlets (van Haren/Sky Sports/BBC) that Gianpiero Lambiase aka GP is jumping ship to Mclaren next year:

Max Verstappen's Red Bull engineer Gianpiero Lambiase to join McLaren

Red Bull's Gianpiero Lambiase, Max Verstappen's race engineer, agrees to join McLaren from 2028.

www.bbc.co.uk

Now it seems like it's a question of when Max decides to begin his sabbatical (permanent or otherwise) rather than if...

Oh wow. That's huge.

Born Crazy | By Valtteri Bottas

I don’t know if people are born to do something. But if they are, then I was born to race.

Very interesting read. Valtteri talking about his career, weight/mental issues, having to move over for Lewis, what's next, etc.
