F1 commentator Martin Brundle doesn’t understand why Red Bull are in “such a mess with drivers” after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson was axed.

Lawson has been demoted to Racing Bulls from the Japanese Grand Prix, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda taking his place at Red Bull.

Since Daniel Ricciardo’s departure at the end of 2018, Red Bull have struggled to find a competent teammate to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon were cast🌺 aside fairly quic🦋kly due to poor performance.

While Sergio Perez enjܫoyed four s♓easons with the team, his future was never secure amid his inconsistent form.

Even though Red Bull are in the unique position of owning two teams on the grid, a▨nd thu𝄹s, they can place their junior drivers on the second team, their driver situation is far from ideal. 

If Verstappen was to make a sudden decision🐓 to leave Red Bull for Mercedes or Aston Martin, it cou﷽ld leave them in a precarious position.

Writing on his X account, Brundle described the situation as “d🐻oubly con🐠fusing”.

“Red Bull uniquely has a juniꦆor team on the grid so it’s doubly confusing they are in such a mess with drivers,” Brundle wrote.

“And their only driver ꦚthey desperately need apജpears to be casting around for the future.

“Liam Lawson’s reputation is temporarily trash🤡ed and he has nothing to lose now. He should turn that into an advantage and let his natural talent flow.”

Chandhok weighs in on Lawson decision

L𓆉awson will likely enjoy his best weekend of the year despite being demoted to the 𒈔junior team.

Racing Bulls have been Q3 contendeꦜ💫rs in the opening two races of the year.

Tsunoda qualified fifth at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, while Isack Hadjar qualified seventh in💎 Shanghai.

Chandhok, who is also part of the Sky F1 team, says Lawson needs to “r⛦ebuild his confiden🔯ce” throughout the weekend in Japan.

“24 hours on from the Red Bull confirmation, I find♏ myself really hoping that Liam Lawson has a great weekend in Suzuka,” he wrote on his X acc🔯ount.

“Track he knows very well, team who likes and respects him, just need to rebuild his conf🧔idence through the weekend. 𓄧Will be fascinating to see him & Yuki.”
