Helmut Marko and his team made another typical mistake this week, sending Liam Lawson out after just two races. This isn't just bad news for the driver in question.
Team icon Max Verstappen is not happy either. Verstappen has already given numerous signs that he is not happy with his situation at RBR, and this could be another push in the other direction for him...
"We are aware that Max is not happy now. But he needs to understand that we need two cars, not just because of the constructors' championship. Much more, to help him win a new world title. Strategically, we need both cars at the front, we hope that Yuki Tsunoda will live up to expectations. Yuki comes in good form, and if he can maintain it here, it will be an advantage for Max. Previously, we did not choose him because he was not balanced enough. But Lawson gave in under pressure, got into a negative spiral and could not get out of there. He ended up in a situation similar to a boxer who is being counted out. We were wrong not to see this weakness earlier," said Marko, who probably added new wings to the rumors about Verstappen / Aston Martin.
