Liam Lawson has hit back at Zak Brown after the McLaren boss suggested that Yuki Tꦿsunoda should have been in the Red Bu🧸ll following his impressive qualifying display at the Australian Grand Prix.

Lawsonဣ endured a torrid o♊pening weekend as a Red Bull driver.

Reliability i🦋ssues put him on the back foot in qualifying, where he was el🅘iminated in Q1.

A pit lane start to change his car’s setup for the wet conditions didn’t pay off, as he struggled for pace and ultimately became one of the six drivers t🦄o DNF.

On the other hand, 168🥃澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Tsunoda impressed for Racing Bulls, qualifying fifth ahead of Alex Albon.

His starr𒅌ing qualifying performance caught the attention of Brown, who praised Tsunoda in an interview with Sky𒊎 Sports.

for their “strange driver decisions”.

“I don’t think I’ve spoken to him, ever and 𝔉I haven’t read any social media over the last two weeks.”

Lawson needs time - Albon

Albon stressed the importance of giving Lawson time to ge🧔t up to speed at Red Bu🌸ll.

Albon had one and a half seasons at Red Bull alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in 2019 and 2020.

After a pro🐼mising start, Albon struggled consid🍎erably, failing to out-qualify Verstappen at any of the 17 races in 2020.

He was ultimately dropped for 2021, sitting the 𝓰season on the sideli♒nes.

When asked about Lawson’s first race with t🗹he team, Albon said: “I think🅷 it’s very early to say how he’s going to do. I think for everyone out there, the conditions and the general formats of qualifying now, I think firstly, let’s start with qualifying.

“I think qualifying is noꦍw closer than ever, which is great for everyone, but it does m⛦ean that if you’re a little bit off, you’re going to likely be out in Q1

“But then, at the same time, there’s nothing really to say about race conditions. I think everyone was struggling out there. Especially the rookies and the ones with a little bit less experience were on the back foot for most of Sunday. I think you’ve got to give them a bit of time꧃ to get up to speed.”
