The top boss at Red Bull’s F1 parent company has backed their decision to drop 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson.

🍃Lawson became the latest driver to be ruthlessly booted out of the Red Bull car, after jus🙈t two grands prix.

H🐼is poor results opened the door to Yuki Tsunoda, and Law🐠son went back to Racing Bulls.

Despite criticism for the team’s handling of the situation, thꦚey have been defended ℱby the managing director of Red Bull GmbH.

Oliver Mintzlaff told  about Christian Horner and Helm🥃ut Marko’s decision: “I understand them and find them justified.

“Nevertheless, it was the right step. Formula 1 is a high-p𒆙erformanc🍷e sport and its performance was not right.

“It would have been wrong to keep Liam iꦅn the car. With the ever-increasing pressure, we wouldn't have done him any favors.

“In the end, he also🦂 understood and accepted that. We are happy that we now have him back with the Racing Bulls.”

Lawson🌟 has finished 17th, 16th and 12th in his three races back with the Racing Bulls team since being axed by Red Bull.

Red Bull struggle behind McLaren

Despitꩵe Max Verstappen’s pole position and P2 in Saudi Arabia last weekend, Red Bull s🅘till lag behind McLaren.

Even when Lando Norris had a torrid weekend in Saudi Arabia due to a crash in qualifying, te🍌ammate Oscar Piastri won the grand prix and now leads🥀 the drivers’ standings.

But Mintzlaff is optim🥀istic about Red ܫBull’s chances.

“I se♈e how self-critical the team is with itself and the situation, and puts everything to the test,” he sai෴d.

“Despi♉te the successful past years, you can feel the greed ౠfor success.

“Everyone wants to win here and get back to the top. I have full confidence🍸 that this can succeed.

“Much of the team thaಌt has been responsible for the success of the past few years is t🌞he same as it is now.

“They haven't forgotten how to build or tune a Formula 🉐1 car over the winter brea📖k.”

Mintzlaff added: “I don't see us as blatꦆant outsiders. Anyone who knows Red🌱 Bull knows that we have an extreme hunger for titles.

“So once again: The Formula 1 season is long. Nobody knows which team will develop ⛄its car and how well.

“It's clear that we're not the hunted at the moment. It was a bad ๊start, but I'm far from questioning everythin🌸g. That would be actionism – and actionism has never achieved anything in sport.

“I know that from football. There are people who think they c🌟an walk on water if they have won four or five games in a row. And if they lose four or five games, everything is called into question. We do not fall into these extremes.”

In Germany, headlines were made by Ralf Schumacher’s claim that Verstappen could make a decision to quit Red Bull soon if the car’s competitiven🙈ess does not greatly increase.

“I ꩵhave a go💦od relationship with Ralf,” Mintzlaff reacted.

“He does his job and we focus on ourselves. But no one has to worry that we at Red Bull have sleepless nights🐽 because of his statements.”

Mintzlaff revealed what h♔e said to Schumacher: “What I would say to everyone.

“I mi🥂ss out on the fact that Red Bull has dominated Formula 1 in the past four years. Six out of eight possible world championship titles were won🌸.

“Of course, it wasn't a good start this season, bu𝄹t our fall was also different.”
