German engineer Mueller is the first woman in F1 history to hold the coveted role, which provides the main point of contact between a team and a driver. The 33-year-old joined Haas as a performance engineer three years ago, after several years working in motorsport events such as the World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series.

Gianpiero Lambiase or 'GP', is not just there to calm Max Verstappen down via team radio, he is an integral part of the champion's team and has been Verstappen's race engineer throughout all four of the Dutchman's championship victories.

Mueller, who will be working with Esteban Ocon this upcoming season, has been promoted from her former role as performance engineer.

German Laura Müller was hailed by her Haas team after becoming the first woman to operate as a race engineer in Formula One. She was the voice in driver Esteban Ocon's ear during the practice sessions on Friday for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
