Over the past fifteen years, Rocquelin has thus proven to be a hugely valued force within the Red Bull team. The 47-year-old Frenchman will therefore remain involved with the Austrians but in a different role. He will be involved with the junior team and will work with the young talents there to ensure that they continue to develop. According to
De Telegraaf, this has also been at Rocquelin's own request and so it is not just to do with the budgetary constraints Horner is talking about.

Max Verstappen's race engineer. This will no doubt have been an important condition of the Dutchman himself. Indeed, last season Verstappen let it be known that he only wanted to work with 'GP' and would stop the moment Lambiase did too.
