Nico Rosberg says what's happening at Red Bull is not what's happening at Visa RB, and that Liam Lawson has been given the opportunity to see if he can replace Sergio Perez in the short term.
Only his most fanatical fans admit how terribly weak Perez is. Sometimes he's beaten by a rookie at Haas, sometimes by another at Williams, sometimes he's just plain slow and shit. Behind the wheel of a car that has problems here and a resurgent McLaren there, he's still fighting for the World Championship title. I mean for the individual title, because according to Rosberg, even second place in the constructors' championship with Perez would be a miracle...
"Red Bull is now in a difficult situation and in great danger, it is not at all inconceivable that they will only end up third in the constructors' championship. It is not easy to take up the gauntlet with only one driver, while the opponents have two stable drivers at their disposal, because this is the situation at Scuderia Ferrari, and this is the situation at McLaren. While at Red Bull the only driver is just suffering with the car...
"It is therefore incomprehensible why Perez was given the opportunity, but it is almost certain that this will be overturned next year. That is why Liam Lawson was thrown into the deep end. If he performs well, he will have the seat at Red Bull Racing in 2025," said the 2016 world champion.
