Red Bull told ‘they’ve still got the wrong driver’ as questions raised over Yuki Tsunoda
ဣ“Do you want to be a constructors’ champion? Yes. Therefore, go out and get a consistent race winner or podium finisher.”
Sky F1 commentator David Croft believes Red Bull still have “got the wrong driver” after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda’s tough start with the team.
After ꧟just two races, Redꦡ Bull swapped Liam Lawson for Tsunoda.
While Tsunoda has been a small upgrade on Lawson, the Japanese driver has struggled to match 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s pace.
As a result, Red Bul𒈔l cou൩ld be set to finish fourth in this year’s F1 constructors’ championship.
There are🍃 just five points between Mercedesไ, Red Bull and Ferrari heading into this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Sky F1 pod🌊cast, Croft feels Red Bull will regret not 🎉signing Sainz.
“I personally think they’ve got the wrong driver still. If they want to win a cons𓂃tructors’ championship, go and get a driver that is good enough,” Croft said.
“And Yuki might well be in time, I don’t think he’s proved it. Well, they should have got Carlos Sainz. But for wh💞atever reason, that didn’t happen.
“Carlos Sainz was the driver available on the market for next year. Now, once you’ve not got Carl🙈os Sainz, who are you looking for in the future?
“Lando’s locked into a long-term contract. George Russell’s out of contract at the end of this year. It would be an interesting combo and it wo🦂uld give us plenty to talk about.
“And I don’🃏t think there’s any animosity between George and Max. They’re just fieꦿrcely competitive human beings who have not always seen eye to eye on the track at any given moment.
“But that’s the calibre of driver they’re going to꧑ have to get. And I’ve not got a downer on Yuki, trust me.
“But is he a consistent podium finis💞ꦇher or race winner? Look at the stats. No, he’s not.
“Do you want to be a constructors’ c𝓰hampion? Yes. Th๊erefore, go out and get a consistent race winner or podium finisher.”
