Liam Lawson will get little assist from Crimson Bull teammate Max Verstappen, who suggests a return to the Racing Bulls.
With RB bosses assembly this week to debate the New Zealander’s future (or not) with the workforce, his Dutch teammate provided little consolation.
“In case you take a look at the distinction between the 2 drivers on the different groups, they’re all nearer collectively,” stated the four-time world champion.
“It additionally reveals that our automotive is extraordinarily robust,” he added.
“I believe when you put Liam within the Racing Bulls automotive, he’ll go sooner. I actually assume so. That automotive is less complicated to drive than ours.”
Simpler to drive as a result of it was created for Max is the very fact of the matter, nearly all of his earlier teammates having suffered related struggles.
Nonetheless, whereas Lawson insists he wants time, Christian Horner admits that the workforce wants each drivers scoring factors.
All of the mess of the Horner saga apart, the Austrian workforce is clearly hurting. It has misplaced quite a lot of excessive profile personnel to rivals and its automotive continues to be outclassed by at the least two, presumably three, different groups.
Final 12 months it paid the worth after dithering over whether or not to drop Sergio Perez, and now, having promoted Lawson, for concern of shedding him Helmut Marko warned on the time, they’re pondering whether or not to interchange him with both a driver they’d beforehand rejected or a rookie.
After all, if we have been in a conspiracy idea way of thinking we might recommend a deal that might see Franco Colapinto return to Williams and Carlos Sainz freed as much as return to Crimson Bull.
Then, after all, Flavio Briatore, by no means one to overlook out on a cash earner, would possibly already be eyeing the second Crimson Bull berth for his younger Argentine.
