Max Verstappen reveals he 'almost jinxed himself' over long-time Red Bull ally

Max Verstappen expressed relief after a conversation with his long-time race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase, who had hinted at their last podium together during the 2022 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Despite Lambiase's impending move to McLaren, they celebrated another podium together after Verstappen's victory in Singapore, which he described as special.

During the race, Verstappen faced radio communication issues, making it difficult for him to respond to Lambiase. The engineer resorted to using coded messages to relay important information. Verstappen's win at Marina Bay marked a significant moment for the duo, as it was their first victory at that circuit together.
