Last weekend featured a shock claim from Red Bull F1 team principal Laurent Mekies that Gianpiero Lambiase's real position at McLaren will be team principal when he eventually joins.
That surprised and annoyed McLaren and prompted a clear-the-air meeting between McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, Mekies, and the boss from Red Bull's parent company, Oliver Mintzlaff.
