迈凯伦加速争取兰比亚斯，F1围场高调会面引关注
迈凯伦正加快行动，试图提前从红牛获得工程师詹皮耶罗·兰比亚斯，并在F1围场进行了一次刻意高调的会面以引起关注。
迈凯伦正在加快行动，试图提前获得红牛的工程师詹皮耶罗·兰比亚斯——一次刻意高调的围场会面帮助引起了外界对此事的关注。
兰比亚斯是红牛的竞赛主管，长期以来一直担任马克斯·维斯塔潘的比赛工程师，他已同意加入迈凯伦担任其首席竞赛官。
然而，他与红牛的现有合同将持续到明年年底，除非达成提前离职协议，否则迈凯伦将不得不等到2028年初才能得到他。
迈凯伦急于不让兰比亚斯的融入延迟那么久，并在近几个月与红牛进行了一系列讨论，探讨是否有理由达成妥协协议。
然而，到目前为止尚未安排任何事宜——但现在看来，迈凯伦正在加大努力以推动一些进展。
有趣的是，周六上午，兰比亚斯和迈凯伦首席执行官扎克·布朗选择了马德里围场中一个非常显眼的位置——紧邻主通道的一张咖啡馆桌子——进行交谈。
这个地点的选择——很容易被摄影师和摄像团队拍到——很有意思，因为两人本可以轻松地在西班牙大奖赛场地庞大维修区和围场综合体内一个更安静的地方会面。
相反，选择咖啡馆几乎肯定是为了传递一个信息：两人正在公开交谈。
这可能会影响红牛，使其认为拖延兰比亚斯的释放没有什么好处。
迈凯伦达成协议希望最近似乎有所增加，因为红牛已经确定了兰比亚斯的替代计划。
该车队已签下阿斯顿马丁的汤姆·麦卡洛作为其新任竞赛主管，从明年开始，而汤姆·哈特将接任维斯塔潘的比赛工程师。
随着这些任命到位，迈凯伦感觉到有机会不必等到2028年，因此它再次开始推动，看看是否有理由让红牛提前放走兰比亚斯。
然而，红牛似乎并不急于快速批准释放——因为它仍在权衡该怎么做。
The 比赛了解到，红牛的一大考虑是如何最好地处理新来者的过渡。
一个优先事项是足够好的交接，以便麦卡洛和哈特在新角色中不会面临冷启动。
红牛已经开始为哈特更紧密地融入维斯塔潘做准备。
他已开始在一些练习赛中担任维斯塔潘的工程师——这将在巴库继续——并将在赛季末全面接管比赛周末。这可能从美国大奖赛开始。
向麦卡洛的交接则必须等到明年年初，因为他要到2027年初才加入——这意味着兰比亚斯将无法在迈凯伦赛季开始时到位。
英文原文
McLaren is accelerating efforts to get hold of Red Bull’s engineer Gianpiero Lambiase early – with a deliberately brazen paddock meeting helping draw attention to the matter.
Lambiase, who is Red Bull’s head of racing and has long been Max Verstappen’s race engineer, has agreed to join McLaren as its chief racing officer.
However, with his current contract with Red Bull running until the end of next year, unless an early exit is agreed then McLaren will have to wait until the start of 2028 to get hold of him.
McLaren is eager not to delay Lambiase’s integration so long, and has held a series of discussions over recent months with Red Bull about whether there are grounds to reach a compromise deal.
However, nothing has been arranged so far – but it now appears to be ramping up efforts for some movement.
Intriguingly, Lambiase and McLaren CEO Zak Brown chose a very conspicuous spot in the Madring paddock on Saturday morning – at a café table right by the main thoroughfare - for a chat.
The choice of location, one easily captured by photographers and camera crews, was interesting because the pair could easily have met in a quieter spot in the huge pit and paddock complex at the Spanish Grand Prix venue.
Instead, by choosing the café, the aim was almost certainly to send a message that the pair are openly talking.
This could influence Red Bull to think there is little to gain by delaying Lambiase's release.
McLaren's hopes of securing a deal appeared to have increased recently with Red Bull having settled on its replacement plans for Lambiase.
The squad has signed Aston Martin’s Tom McCullough as its new head of racing from next year, while Tom Hart is to take over as Verstappen’s race engineer.
With those appointments in place, McLaren senses an opportunity to not have to wait until 2028, so it has started pushing again to see if there are grounds for Red Bull to let Lambiase go early.
However, Red Bull appears to be in no rush to fast track a release – as it is still weighing up what to do.
The Race understands that one of Red Bull’s big considerations is how best it wants to handle the transition to the new arrivals.
A priority is a good enough handover so both McCullough and Hart do not face a cold start in their new roles.
Red Bull has already begun preparations for Hart’s closer integration with Verstappen.
He has begun acting as Verstappen’s engineer in some practice sessions – which will continue in Baku – and is set to take over for full race-weekends towards the end of the season. This may start from the United States Grand Prix.
A handover to McCullough, who does not join until the start of 2027, would have to wait until the start of next year though – which would mean Lambiase not being in place at McLaren for the start of the season.
