Red Bull have been criticised for putting Liam Lawson into their second car instead of signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

Sainz was the key to last year’s driver marke෴t when he became available after Lewis Hamilton t💜ook his Ferrari driver.

Despite opportunities at Red Bull and Mercedes, both overlooked Sainz who instead went to ꦏWilliams🧸.

But Red Bull’s decision to internally promote Lawson after a short butᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ impressive stint with their sister team has backfired after two races this season.

Red Bull reportedly met on Tuesday and decided to replꦯace Lawson with Yuki Tsunoda for next weekend’s F1 Japanese Grand Prix, however this is unconfirmed.

But they should have looked elsewhere when a big opportunity arose, they have been𝐆 told.

“Sainz. Sign Sai🌺nz who was on the market,” Alex Jacques said on the F1 Nation po🃏dcast.

“They had the option to do it. He is a proven grand prix winner. You know his data from wh👍en he was alꦰongside Max Verstappen.

“He didn’t beat Verstappen and he didn’t beat Charles Leclerc often. But he’s a driver w🍃ho picked up wins when it didn’t go to plan.

“When Max has contact with a driver at Turn 1, Sainz is capa𝄹ble of winning a grand prix.

“They got th൩emselves in a massi♋ve tangle, and I don’t think Lawson deserves to take the brunt of what he’s doing.

“He’s a🅷n elite sportsman at the top of motor racing, and he’s qualifying last! That is really tough.”

'Incoherent' Red Bull criticised for Liam Lawson decision

Lawson has failed to get out of Q1 in either Australia or 𝔉China.

Tꦜhe tone from team principal Chris📖tian Horner subtly shifted after the Chinese Grand Prix.

“It is uncomfortable for me,” commentator Jacques c𓂃ontinued. “I covered his junior career. He is a straightforward guy.

“Objectively, with 11 grand prix starts, he is the least experienced and qualified to ev🐻er be put alongside Verstappen.

“He wasn’t with front-running ♚teams in his junior career. He didnও’t finish in the major places on his way through the ladder.

ꦦ“It’s incredibly difficult to see why they put Liam in this position in the first place, in my 𝓰opinion.

“A guy who deserves a shot in Formula 1 has been advanced to a team where you are asking a driver to fix a Rubick’s Cube of a car which Sergio 𓄧Perez - the tyre whisperer, man who used to magic Force India to the podium out of thin air, and who went from the back of the grid to the win in Sakhir - could not figure out.

“Chꦛeco couldn't figure it out. Daniel Ricciardo didn’t think he’d beat Max so disappeared.

“Alex Albon is pretty good against Carlos Sainz, a grand prix winner, at the mome🅷nt, isn’t he? He was fourth tenths of a sec꧃ond away. [Red Bull] would kill for four tenths of a second away.

“It hꦍas been incoherent as to who they put into the second🔯 car for a long time.

"Liam is taking the brunt of it. It’s not really Liam’s fault. Will they give him time? I don’t know. But it’s a𝕴 tough watch.”

Laura Winter added: “I agree. We do need to start asking questions about the culture around that Re𝐆d Bull second seat.

“It’s seemingl🧸y an impossible conundrum to unpick. You have a car which is swayed, built a✃nd manufactured for a four-time champion.

“The No2 seat, nothing is engineered for you. You come in as the de facto No2, and that’s it. You💫 have to fulfil that role.

“Are the Racing Bulls faster than the Red Bull?

“Already rumours that Lawson will be replaced as early as Japan, for goodness sake. Bu꧋t does Yuki Tsunoda want to drive the Red Bull?

“Every driver on the grid will say ‘🌌I ꦰcan do a better job’.

“But instead of blaming drivers, as we tend to do, perhaps questions also need to be around how the team operates, and how the culture of that second seat ꧒operates.”

Red Bull have been notoriously ruthless with their patience with dri🔜vers in their two teams.

Albon, Pierre Gasly and Ricciardo are among the drivers chewed up by the o♒pportunity who went on to have successful F1 careers.

At the end of last season, Perez lost his seat because he was unable to score points consistently leading to Red 🐷Bull conceding the constructors’ championship to McLaren.
