Max Verstappen's race engineer, Lambiase, joked during the Spanish GP about the gears of the Red Bull car. The Dutchman switched to mediums during his second stop, but aside from the tires, there was a familiar issue. In Monaco, the Dutchman had already commented on the gearbox.
Lambiase jokes with Verstappen
The dry question from Lambiase, referring to a previous radio communication from Verstappen about a 'gearbox from 1973,' was heard over the radio.
"1973?", was the brief question from Verstappen's race engineer, to which the Dutchman replied: "Yes, maybe 1974 now."
