Max Verstappen's race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase (GP), recently talked about one detail no one knows about the Dutchman. This was after Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive drivers' title at the 2024 F1 Las Vegas GP.
After the race at Sin City, both GP and Red Bull team boss Christian Horner were interviewed by Sky Sports. In the interview, former NASCAR racer Danica Patrick asked GP for a detail no one knew about Verstappen.
To this, GP laughed and mulled over the question for a while. He then said that the Dutchman loves cats. Lambiase also revealed that Verstappen was to name his new cat GP, after his race engineer, but ended up calling it Donatello.
