Jacques Villeneuve has made a blunt statement about Liam Lawson: he considers the driver to be extremely talented, but...
But let's wait and see. Moreover, the world champion doesn't like the attitude Lawson represents. He even explained why:
“Let’s be clear, Lawson’s seat is totally deserved, he was fast, worked hard, and his path led him to Red Bull. However, we’ve seen this before: talented drivers who join the first team and then get burned. Also, Liam is very arrogant, almost conceited, for his level of experience. Either way, the fact that he’s Max Verstappen’s teammate will put a strain on him. If he’s fast and causes problems for Max, then I’ll make amends.”
"On the other hand, if he can't compete with Verstappen, then his attitude won't be enough to survive. Besides, New Zealand isn't a country that gives Formula 1 races, nor does it give the sport a huge amount of money through the driver or the team. So, he has to be good enough if he wants to make a career; his sheer audacity won't be enough here," Lawson Villeneuve said.
What do you think, will Liam Lawson hold up?
