Calls grow for ‘most logical’ option to take Logan Sargeant’s Williams F1 seat
That is the view of ex-F1 driver turned Sky pundit Anthony Davidson, who reckons that Lawson, who has impressed as a stand-in for the injured 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo at Alpha💃Tauri, would be an “amaz💝ing option” for Williams.
Davidson believes a short-term deal for Lawson would also benefit Red Bull given the 21-year-old New 𓂃Zealander is set for a year on the sidelines with no seats available at AlphaTauri or Red Bull for 2024.
“It’s not just me saying this, but everybody in the paddock that I’ve spoken to about him… 🌠Liam Lawson, what a cracking job he’s done and he continued toꦉ do that in Suzuka as well,” Davidson told the Sky Sports F1 podcast.
“I think he might just have one final run out in Qatar next race coming up, if Ricciardo’s hand hasn’t recovered in time.﷽ But if that is the end of the road for Lawson for now, I think he’d be an amazing option for Williams and one where both teams can ben🌸efit from.”
“In the short-term, Williams can benefit from having, clearly, a known quantity that will jump in and do a good job. H🉐e’s done enough races now in enough conditions to give p♛eople confidence. Often that’s what it comes down to in a team.
“It’s not just one person making a decision of who to put in a car, it’s lots of peopl💎e, and they have to be brave enough in many ways to be proved wrong if it does go wrong. It’s like a board decision for who you are g🃏oing to go for.
“So the better your results have been, like Lawson, in lots of different scenarios. You can see the guy keeps his nose clean, he’s not a crasher, he’s fast when he needs to be. He’s a methodical worker, a good overtaker, a team playe☂r.
“He ticks a lot of boxes and he’s young. He’s got time to continue to learn out of the spotlight. Continuing to learn in a team like Williams, alongside a great driver like Alex Albon could be a fantastic relationship and one that works well for Red Bull as well going forward, because they have the luxury of too many drivers around for the seats they have available.&👍nbsp;
“To me that makes sense. He’s the most logical one that I would want to put in m🧔y second seat if I ⛄was running a team. And you’d put a nice deal together with Red Bull.
“The only negative for Williams is that you’d lose that commodity. You are training somebody up to then lose then later on the down the line. But in the short-term, you could get a good, healthy amount of 𒆙points on☂ the table and walk away from a season that’s not damaging the car all the time.”
Davidson continued: "The thing that Logan Sargeant proves is that he was comparable to Liam Lawso🌳n in F2, he had the speed and consistency there and he had good race results to almost match those guܫys.
“Yet for whatever reason in F1 it’s not work🧸ing out. It can such a pressure-cooker environment in F1 that they struggle to drive freely enough. You drive too tense because you are not con൩fident enough because it’s such a scary environment.
“I feel like Log♏an isn't driving the way I’ve seen him drive before in other categories. He’s 💖not driving the way he knows he can drive and these mistakes keep coming about because maybe he’s trying to do things without driving in a free way."
