Liam Lawson will get little help from Pink Bull teammate Max Verstappen, who suggests a return to the Racing Bulls.
With RB bosses assembly this week to debate the New Zealander’s future (or not) with the group, his Dutch teammate supplied little consolation.
„In the event you have a look at the distinction between the 2 drivers on the different groups, they’re all nearer collectively,“ mentioned the four-time world champion.
„It additionally reveals that our automotive is extraordinarily powerful,“ he added.
„I believe when you put Liam within the Racing Bulls automotive, he’ll go sooner. I actually suppose so. That automotive is simpler to drive than ours.“
Simpler to drive as a result of it was created for Max is the actual fact of the matter, virtually all of his earlier teammates having suffered related struggles.
Nonetheless, whereas Lawson insists he wants time, Christian Horner admits that the group wants each drivers scoring factors.
All of the mess of the Horner saga apart, the Austrian group is clearly hurting. It has misplaced plenty of excessive profile personnel to rivals and its automotive remains to be outclassed by a minimum of two, presumably three, different groups.
Final 12 months it paid the value after dithering over whether or not to drop Sergio Perez, and now, having promoted Lawson, for concern of shedding him Helmut Marko warned on the time, they’re pondering whether or not to interchange him with both a driver they’d beforehand rejected or a rookie.
In fact, if we had been in a conspiracy principle way of thinking we would recommend a deal that may see Franco Colapinto return to Williams and Carlos Sainz freed as much as return to Pink Bull.
Then, after all, Flavio Briatore, by no means one to overlook out on a cash earner, would possibly already be eyeing the second Pink Bull berth for his younger Argentine.
