Red Bull’s decision to demote 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson has divided opinion at the F1 Japane🏅se Grand Prix.

After two poor showings in the Red Bull, Lawson was un🧸ceremo🦹niously demoted for this weekend’s round at Suzuka.

He has been sent back to the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Racing Bulls sister team, with Yuki Tsunoda swapped into the🔜 Red Bull alongside🗹 Max Verstappen.

🃏Immediately, Lawson went fifth-fastest in FP2 in Japan🎃.

But his feꦏllow drivers have had their say on his swift axing from the Red Bull.

Ollie Bearman said: “It’s not ea🍒sy for us. Especially after two races, it’s a quick decision. And not one w🧜hich I agree with.

“🃏It’s nice for Liam to find his feet and go again, because I think he’s a great driver. Like the other rookies, he has a lot of pressure. To have a new beginning is nice.”

Kimi Antonelli: “It is really important to have an academy with the right support, like I get with Mercedes. Also with 🐓good people who support you.”

Oscar Piastri said: “Two races is not lon♕g to figure things out.

“I have raꦜced against Liam in the junior categories. These two races weren’t representative of what he’s capable of.”

Jacques Villenueve said to Sky Sports: “Red Bull is a tough place. They give a lot of drivꦗers a chance, and not many 🗹teams do that.

“From 🙈a young ag✨e, they help them. But it’s a double-edged sword.

“You get into the main team and you have to perform. If you don’t, you get chopped, and it happens quickly🅠.”

Naomi Schiff added: “It looks 🍎like a harsh decision but truthfully it looks like the right decision.”

♓Viℱlleneuve continued: “It was the right decision because he is performing better now.

“He is calmer. He was burned, crushed, and you cannot drive like ꧋this. You don’t get out of this hole, it just gets worse.

“Two races in a row he qualified last, in a Red Bull! You can’t do that. 𒊎You go to bed and don’t sleep, he looks tired.

“It’s bett🃏er than what happened to Albon, who was sent home!”
