Red Bull have been told not to put Liam Lawson into their car too soon,🐼 with the example of Nyck de Vries cited.

Ex-Red Bull junior De Vries shone🐷 on his F1 debut, when he was loaned to Williams to replace the unwell Alex Albon at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix, with a P9 finish earning rave reviews.

But his rookie season as a full-time driver, for Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTaur🍨i, was cut short after just 10 🐈races. He was replaced permanently by Daniel Ricciardo due to his poor form.

As a result, Red Bull have been advised to show caution with the highly-rate꧅d Lawson.

Natalie Pinkham said on the F1 Nation podcast: “Surely you aren’t going to꧂ throw Liam straight into a Red Bull seat?

“I’m sure he’d say that he could handle it.

“Haven’t we seen🅠 this🔥 time and time again? You overexpose these young drivers. It’s a ruthless system.

“If it was me, and I wanted to manage Lawson, I’d bring him into the junior team first✅ and promote him as and when he deserves it.

“Look at Ny🔥ck de Vries. He had a bri𝔉lliant outing when he subbed for Alex Albon.

“Then he came in and was overexposed. It’s ꦺtough, it’s not easy to be consistently competitive.”

Tom Clarkso🌳n replied: “⛎If Lawson comes in alongside Max Verstappen, he ain’t looking great. Nobody looks great alongside Verstappen.”

But former F1 driver Alex Wurz disagreed: “One shot, ju💎st take it. If you want to go against ♌the big boys, then go in.

“You can𒁃 onlܫy surprise. Perhaps with a bit of luck…

“I was here at Silverstone ജa long time ago as a substitute driver. I went straight to the podium.

“The day after, I hadꦆ multiple teams calling me for a contract. Benetton were the fastest to sign me. I know it can happen 🍸straight away, you just need that good race.

“With luck, if he c💖omes to a track where the Red Bull w🐭orks…

“Overthinking is the problem. He is a very good driv🌼er.

“There is a young generation incoming who will show new skills. He’s at the forefr🌄ont.🥂”

Lawson performed admirably last y🗹ear for AlphaTauri when deputising 🐼for the injured Ricciardo.

This year, his𝔍 name🦩 is back in the mix due to the bad form of Sergio Perez.
