Former world champion Jacques Villeneuve usually does not mince his words about F1 drivers, and that was also the case about Liam Lawson as well. According to the Canadian, the driver’s attitude was also the cause the Austrian swapping their drivers.
Liam Lawson’s demotion to Racing Bulls after just two Grand Prix for Red Bull Racing is the best outcome for the Kiwi driver, says former F1 driver, Juan Pablo Montoya.
Jan Lammers also watched as McLaren clinched the win at the first two Grand Prix weekends of the season. Red Bull Racing – especially in China – followed behind. Will Max Verstappen’s team be able to catch up to the papaya outift? For now, Lammers sees a big advantage for McLaren over Verstappen and the rest of their pursuers.
Yuki Tsunoda would not have done so, but even if he had wanted to: it would have been impossible for him to turn down F1 promotion to Red Bull Racing, it appears, after he was appointed as Liam Lawson’s replacement.

An outspoken Lewis Hamilton fan Jeremy Clarkson is not by any means. The British TV personality has regularly criticised his comthe seven-time world champion in the past. After the Grand Prix weekend in China – in which Hamilton won the sprint race and played a less relevant role in the Grand Prix – Clarkson does so again in his column in The Sun.
In a recent interview for one of his personal sponsors, Sergio Perez revealed that “several doors” would be open for a return to Formula 1. Invariably, Cadillac are mentioned as the most logical destination for the Mexican in this regard. While there are indeed talks within the US team of possibly attracting Perez, things are not as far advanced as Mexican media in particular would lead us to believe.
The expression, nothing changes like the weather, could, in a way, apply to Red Bull Racing. What is the absolute truth for the Austrian team one day can be the opposite the next. There is no longer any measure for Red Bull’s actions and beliefs.
GPblog reported last week that Max Verstappen disagreed with Red Bull Racing’s decision to sideline Liam Lawson, which Helmut Marko then confirmed. Meanwhile, the Austrian also revealed what Verstappen’s plea was to hold on to the New Zealander for longer, since he’d only driven two Grands Prix for the team.
Forever grateful. After all, it was the same Helmut Marko who gave the young Max Verstappen a chance in Formula One when he was only 16, thus spearheading a brilliant career in the sport. But that was then and now is a different world for Verstappen. In the interests of Red Bull Racing, it has become a must that both team principal Christian Horner and also Marko leave, GPblog has learned.
