If there's one thing that could be called the negative sensation of the season, it's Liam Lawson's performance. The Red Bull Racing youngster is performing so poorly that his team could drop him before the Japanese Grand Prix...
Of course, Max Verstappen also has an opinion on the situation, and - although it may not be obvious from the context - he defended his teammate:
"We know, we see that in every other team the drivers are very close. That also shows that our car is extremely difficult, very difficult to control. I think if Liam Lawson went to Racing Bulls now, he would be immediately faster and more competitive. That car is much easier to control than ours. Last year I wouldn't have thought it would work like that, the team saw the difference between Yuki Tsunodo and him, that's why they put him in another Red Bull Racing car," said Max Verstappen.
