In Formula 1, McLaren is currently in 1st place in the driver and constructor evaluation, no wonder that TeamBoss Zak Brown can confidently look at other race stables such as Red Bull Racing. Because, according to Brown, the Max Verstappen team made a “strange decision”.
If you take a look at the results of the Formula 1 opening in Australia, you look for Red Bull Racing newcomers Liam Lawson in vain among the drivers who finished. Because the rookie flew off the route for Red Bull for Red Bull for Red Bull.
At the same time, Yuki Tsunoda grabbed sister team Racing Bulls, who was traded for the cockpit next to Max Verstappen, at least twelve after he had previously presented himself in the training. Lawson, on the other hand, had to delete the sails in Q1 in Q1, while Tsunoda came to five. A fact that Red Bull should think about whether it was right to replace Sergio Pérez with Lawson, at least that was rumored by McLaren boss Zak Brown.
“Yuki did a class. He is the guy that he should have sitting in the Red Bull if you looked at what he did,” said Brown at “Sky Sports F1” and added: “But Red Bull seems to make some strange driver’s decisions.”
For the McLaren boss, whose top driver, Vice World Champion Lando Norris, landed in 1st place, it is therefore clear: “It will be a very exciting season.”
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner did not want to see Lawson’s achievements too critically at the debut GP.
Red Bull stays relaxed at Lawson
“It was a difficult weekend for him,” admitted Horner at “Sky Sports F1”, but you had to play a lot about the car setup, the rain during the race then changed everything anyway.
“The positive that we can take is that his pace was really good under dry conditions,” said Horner, referring to Lawson.
The next opportunity for Lawson will be available in China this coming weekend. RTL transfers the qualifying and race (Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m.) live on free TV!
