If there's one thing that can be called a negative sensation of the season, it's definitely Liam Lawson's poor form. 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 - even if it doesn't necessarily come out of context - he defended his teammate:
"We know, we see that the drivers are close to each other in every other team. This also shows that our car is extremely tough, very difficult to drive. I think if Liam Lawson were to switch to Racing Bulls now, he would be immediately faster and more competitive. That car is much easier to drive than ours. Last year I wouldn't have thought it would work like that, the team saw the difference between Yuki Tsunoda and him, that's why they put him in the other car of Red Bull Racing," said Max Verstappen.
