The Milton Keynes team has convinced Gwen Lagrue to leave Mercedes. Gwen Lagrue is the one who closely followed the growth of Andrea Kimi Antonelli from karting to F1. According to Johnny Herbert, Lagrue’s arrival, in addition to filling the void left by Helmut Marko, could be fundamental in building a ‘new Verstappen’ in case the Dutchman decides to leave Red Bull.
“Knowing Gwen Lagrue, I know he has an excellent understanding of what it takes to get the best out of drivers – Herbert said to Casinostugan – a team is always aware, when it has one of the best drivers ever seen, that it must show Max Verstappen that it is doing everything possible to put the right ingredients in place that will help rebuild the team. It must prove it is not sitting idle, waiting for things to happen.”

But a team is always aware that a driver could potentially leave in search of better opportunities“.
