Gianpiero Lambiase, also referred to as GP, is an Italian and British engineer who works in Formula One. He is now Max Verstappen’s race engineer for the Red Bull Racing Formula One team.
How much money does Gianpiero Lambiase make and what is his net worth and Red Bull salary?
Beginning in 2005, Lambiase worked for Red Bull as a race engineer. But after their Head Race Engineer left, he took “Rocky” his former engineer’s place. In 2022, he began collaborating with Verstappen as the head. What distinguishes him as a great engineer is his incredible tenacity in controlling Verstappen while simultaneously securing victories for Red Bull.
His current net worth is $475,000. It is said that since 2005, his career as a Formula 1 engineer has contributed to his wealth. He currently earns $144,000 with Red Bull each year.
Despite his Mediterranean name, Lambiase was actually born in 1981 in London (one of several successful British-Italians in motorsport alongside Paul di Resta and Dario Franchitti) and supports Chelsea alongside his father and like Red Bull‘s strategy guru Hannah Schmitz, he learned his trade at Cambridge but unlike his colleague that trade wasn’t anything to do with motorsport.
He made his first steps in the world of F1 in 2005 with Jordan and never looked back from there and stayed with the Silverstone team as they transitioned through Midland, Spyker and finally Force India, where he was Giancarlo Fisichella‘s performance engineer in 2008 and 2009.
He’s a trained actor from Cambridge, he’s perfected the British accent and his parents are Italian.
