Ferrari are reportedly showing interest in a senior member of Red Bull’s staff, following the recent confirmation of Gianpiero Lambiase’s move to McLaren.
Lambiase is set to become McLaren’s Chief Racing Engineer, with Andrea Stella remaining as team principal despite previous links to Ferrari.
Lambiase is taking on the role of Chief Racing Engineer at McLaren, while Andrea Stella will remain as team principal despite having been linked with a move to Ferrari in the past.
Outside of Lambiase, Red Bull have also seen Adrian Newey, Jonathan Wheatley, Will Courtenay and Craig Skinner leave their roles within the organisation in recent months.
There are now rumours that Ferrari could be interested in another key member of Red Bull’s staff.
According to Planet F1, there are signs that more departures from the team could be on the horizon.
Paddock rumours have linked Pierre Wache with a potential switch to Ferrari.
The speculation suggests Wache might see a move to Maranello as a backup plan if he ends up being blamed for Red Bull’s recent struggles.
Wache, 51, currently holds the position of technical director at Red Bull. He first joined the team in 2013 as a chief engineer.
Since Adrian Newey left in 2025, Wache has overseen the design and production of the RB21 and RB22.
However, there have been previous reports that Max Verstappen doesn’t fully trust Wache, with public criticism directed at the RB21’s performance during the 2025 season.
Though his future with Red Bull remains uncertain, Wache has previously been linked to Ferrari.
In 2024, it was reported that Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur was interested in reuniting with Wache. The two had worked together at Sauber before Wache moved to Red Bull.
At that time, many in the paddock believed Wache would make the switch from Red Bull to Ferrari. However, he remained with Red Bull and continued working under Newey before eventually taking full responsibility for technical matters.
