Liam Lawson has tipped Yuki Tsunoda to feel “more comfortable” on his debut for Red Bull at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

After just two races alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at Red Bull, Lawson has been demoted to ꦿRacing Bulls for Suzuka.

Lawson struggled considerably for overall speed in✅ his two races for the team in Australia and China.

The Kiwi was well off the pace at Albert Park before crashing ouꦺt in treacherous conditions iꦑn the race.

More worryingly for Lawson, he qualified 20th aಌnd last in the two qua🅠lifying sessions in Shanghai.

As a result, ꦰLawson and Yuki Tsunoda have swapped seats from this w꧙eekend’s race.

In the pre-race🔥 FIA press conference on Thursday, Lawson explained why Tsunoda s꧋hould be more “comfortable” than he was in China.

“I mean, China was a bit more unique, I would say,” Lawson said when r🍸eflecting on 🃏his struggles.

“For the race, we tried something with the setup, and it was quite aggressive. It was to get some answers and to build a direction with the car. We went with that, and in the end, it didn’t work too well in China, specifically with the degradation that we had on the fr෴onts.The car itself felt quite good but on the tyres we were struggling.

“Coming here, it’s a new place. 𝓡For Yuki, it’s a great opportunity on a track he’s done a lot. I am sure he will probably be more comfortable I would say. I am sure they’ve done work over the last week in🐲 the short break to try and work on improving things.”

Lawson hoped issues were “taken into consideration more”

Lawson had hoped that factors that have impacted his performance at Red Bull would be “tak𝔉en into consideration more.”

Reliability issues in pre-season testing prevented him from 💫completing a long run on the ꧅second day of running in Bahrain.

He’s never d🥃riven at Albert Park before while the race was wet.

Similar💫ly, with China - it was a sprint weekend, meaning he had just 60 minutes to 💜get up to speed.

“In Formula 1, it’s motorsport. You have issues and that’s part [of it]. Especially with these cars that are pushing the limits like they are,” Lawson added. “I m🦹ay have hoped that would be taken into consideration more and I think that’s why forme it was important to come to a place that I’ve raced before and driven before.

“Me🃏lbourne and China are both tough tracks and the way the weekend went they weren’t the smoothest. It’s motorsport. The decision wasn’t mine but I will make the most of it.”
