If there's one thing that can be called a negative feeling of the season, it's definitely Liam Lawson's performance. The Red Bull Racing youngster is performing so poorly that his team could fire him before the Japanese Grand Prix...
Of course, Max Verstappen also has an opinion about the situation created, who - even if this is not necessarily the impression left by the context - defended his teammate:
"We know, we see that all the other drivers from the other teams are very close to each other. This shows that our car is extremely difficult, very difficult to drive. I think if Liam Lawson were to transfer to Racing Bulls now, he would be immediately faster and more competitive. That car is much easier to drive than ours. Last year I wouldn't have thought it worked like that, the team noticed how big the difference is between Yuki Tsunoda and him, that's why they moved him to the other Red Bull Racing car." - said Max Verstappen.
