Via Deepl:

Lambiase (45) is under contract with Red Bull Racing through 2027. Until then, the English engineer—who also serves as Head of Racing at Red Bull—will not be going anywhere. He is expected to join rival team McLaren in 2028. This has been confirmed by multiple sources following earlier reports by De Limburger.

By bringing in Lambiase—scheduled for 2028—McLaren is already preparing for the possible departure of Andrea Stella. The current team principal is well-regarded internally at the Woking-based team, but has been linked with a return to Ferrari. For Lambiase, therefore, a significant promotion—both financially and in terms of position—lies ahead.

Aston Martin is reportedly considering an early retirement in Australia due to a shortage of spare parts

Via DeepL:

Aston Martin has fallen into a black hole. And the main cause of this precipitous decline stems from Honda. The RA626H power unit fitted to the AMR26 proved to be a major problem that prevented the Silverstone team from conducting normal testing in the second session in Bahrain.

Honda arrived at the Melbourne debut completely unprepared. Breakdowns during testing caused a crisis in the supply of spare parts, and for a moment, the idea of skipping Australia was even considered, citing force majeure.

It would have been a disaster for F1 to start the cycle of agile single-seaters without a team and the penalties that Aston Martin would have had to pay for breaking the Concorde Agreement, which regulates the commercial agreements between the teams and the promoter.

The AMR26 will therefore be in the pits in Melbourne, but the intention will be to cover the minimum distance to get into the race and then stop after a few laps. In the meantime, a sort of crisis unit has been set up to support Honda in this difficult and dramatic moment, and Newey's staff is in frequent contact with the Japanese team in Sakura to address the priorities that need to be resolved.
