Max Verstappen and his Red Bull engineer squabbled on the Belgian GP

Despite exchanging some sharp messages over staff radio eventually weekend’s Belgian Gran Prix, Max Verstappen and race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase are “like siblings”, Karun Chandhok and David Croft instructed the Sky Sports F1 Podcast.

Verstappen took an eighth consecutive victory with one other dominant efficiency however it wasn’t with out some staff radio flare ups with Lambiase.

In Qualifying on Friday, Verstappen was not comfortable to scrape into Q3 as he made it clear the staff went towards his run plan. The Dutchman apologised for his rant when he took pole place and Lambiase half-joked “slowly getting used to it”.

In the Grand Prix itself on Sunday, Verstappen was instructed to “use his head a bit more” by Lambiase after setting a really fast out lap on his technique to Red Bull’s thirteenth straight win.

“They are the best combination for each other, that they could possibly have. GP [Lambiase] is vastly experienced, he’s been around the sport a long, long time. He used to be Paul di Resta’s race engineer for many years at Force India,” Croft instructed the newest version of the Sky Sports F1 Podcast.

“He takes no nonsense from Max but understands there will be times his driver gets a bit hot headed, isn’t in full control of the facts, would like to make the decisions himself and will get a little bit irate when it’s not quite what he envisaged.

“He understands, he has the endurance, he absorbs in any respect, and he places Max proper in a means that Max respects and there’s a enormous quantity of respect from the pair of them.

“They work together superbly well they both know each other’s faults and each other’s pros. It’s a seamless relationship. I know we heard a lot of it over the weekend but that’s only because it’s racing and in the heat of the moment these sort of things happen.”

Max Verstappen feedback on his squabbles together with his Red Bull engineer on the Belgian GP

Between 2010 and 2013, Sebastian Vettel and engineer Guillaume Rocquelin gained 4 world titles collectively at Red Bull as they set new data and dominated the game.

Verstappen seems set for the same quantity of success and Chandhok says the championship chief’s relationship with Lambiase is harking back to Vettel and Rocquelin.

“It was almost like this big brother sitting on the pit wall,” stated Chandhok.

“Then the little brother gets all hot headed, the adrenaline’s pumping in the car and they bicker like siblings. But actually, they are in it together, chasing that common goal of winning races and world championships. Rocky and Seb won four and these guys are well on their way to a third title.”

Red Bull managed to interrupt one other F1 trophy as they celebrated Max Verstappen’s win on the Belgian GP

Croft added: “Seb used to push it as well and used to do things that Rocky didn’t want Seb to do and Max tries the same. At the end of the day, Max respects GP enough to not push it too far.

“But I believe they’re an important mixture and I need to hear extra of that over the staff radio. You have Bono [Peter Bonnington] and you’ve got Lewis [Hamilton] – what a superb race engineer and driver mixture that is been through the years.

“We had Andrew Shovlin and Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button with Tom Stallard. These are the people that are the connection between the driver in the cockpit, who will feel vulnerable because he doesn’t know, all the time, what decisions are being made, and the rest of the pit wall and those with all the data at their fingertips and mouses. So you have got to have that essential trust.”
