Helmut Marko and his team have once again made a typical mistake that fits perfectly into the Red Bull Racing scheme this week by sidelining Liam Lawson after just two races. It's not just the aforementioned driver who isn't happy.
But also team icon Max Verstappen. Verstappen has already shown plenty of signs that he's unhappy with his situation at RBR, and this could be another push for him to move in a different direction...
"We are aware that Max is not happy at the moment. But he must also understand that we need two cars, and not just for the Constructors' Championship. It's much more to help him secure another world title. Strategically, the presence of our two cars in the leading pack is necessary, and we hope that Yuki Tsunoda will live up to the expectations placed on him. Yuki arrives in good shape, and if he can replicate that here, it will also be to Max's advantage. Previously, we didn't choose him because he wasn't balanced enough. However, Lawson cracked under pressure, fell into a negative spiral, and couldn't get out of it. He found himself in a situation similar to that of a boxer who was counted. We made a mistake by not recognizing this weakness earlier," said Marko, who probably thus added new rumors about Verstappen / Aston Martin.
