Jacques Villeneuve has spoken bluntly about Liam Lawson: He considers the driver to be extremely talented, but...
But with reason. Moreover, the world champion does not like the attitude that Lawson represents. He also said why:
"Let's be clear, Lawson's place is completely deserved, he was fast, he did a good job, his directness got him to Red Bull. On the other hand, we've seen talented drivers come to the first team and then get burned there. Plus, Liam is very arrogant, almost cocky, considering how much experience he has. Anyway, the fact that he will be Max Verstappen's teammate will measure him closely. If he is fast and causes Max problems, then I apologize.
"But if he can't push Verstappen, then his character will be insufficient to survive. Moreover, New Zealand is not a country that would put Formula 1 racing or a bottomless amount of money through a driver into the sport, into a team. So, he has to be good enough if he wants to make a career, his simple arrogance will not be enough here," - assessed Lawson Villeneuve.
Do you think Liam Lawson will be up to the task?
