After the Grand Prix of China, all birds whistled from the roofs of Formula 1: Liam Lawson is no longer granted at Red Bull after two completely messed up racing weekends and has to clear his cockpit again. This message is still not officially confirmed, but TV expert and ex-formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher now also wants to get wind of this decision.
Ralf Schumacher confirmed in the “Sky” interview on Sunday, among other things, by “Sky”, “Motorsport-Total” and “F1-Insider”, according to which Liam Lawson is already shot again after his desolate appearances in Shanghai as teammate by world champion Max Verstappen.
“Liam Lawson is already out and Yuki Tsunoda will replace him. That is not quite confirmed yet, but it is well!” Schumacher stated on Sunday afternoon.
For the 49-year-old, it is clear that in addition to Lawson, the entire Red Bull team is also a big loser in this extremely piquant matter.
“I have to say that this is unbelievable! Above all, incredibly bad from a management view! You destabilize the good team Racing Bulls, which is now good with both drivers. You risk tsunoda that is better, but has no chance against Max,” said the 180-time Formula 1 starter.
Schumacher finds Red Bull ahead “Incredible”
Liam Lawson had not convinced both in Australia and China and was lying behind his team -mate Max Verstappen on both racing weekends. Already on Saturday, Red Bull Motor Sports Advisor Helmut Marko left open to rotate in the second Red Bull and to promote Yuki Tsunoda from the supposedly weaker racing bulls racing stable.
“Lawson goes back to the Racing Bulls and should build up again. This is somehow pure chaos at Red Bull! Not only that they are too slow with the main team. I find the drivers to exchange the drivers now,” I find it incredibly, “added Schumacher.
The fact that the home Grand Prix for Yuki Tsunoda in Japan is due in two weeks is also explosive. According to his decent performance in this calendar year, the 24-year-old had already publicly emphasized the cockpit at Red Bull “one hundred percent”.
