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

Lawson has been demoted to Racing Bulls from the Japanese Grand Prix, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

Pierre Gasly and 💖Alex Albonꦍ were cast aside fairly quickly due to poor performance.

While Sergio Perez enjoyed four seasons with the team, his future was never s💫ecure amid his inconsistent form.

Even though Red Bull are in the unique position ღof owning two teams on the grid, and thus, they can place their junior drivers on the second team, their driver situation is far from ideal. 

If Vers🐭tappen was to make a sudden decision to leave Red Bull for Mercedes or Aston Martin, it could leave them in a precarious position.

W✱riting on his X account, Brundle described the situation as “doubly confusing”.

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

“And their only driver they desperately need 𝓰appears to be casting around for the future.

“Liam Lawson’s reputation is temporarily trashed and he has nothing to lose now. He should turn that into an advantage and let his natural talen🌄t flow.”

Chandhok weighs in on Lawson decision

Lawson will likely enjoy his best weekend of the year despite being demoted to the junior tea𒁃m.

Racing Bulls have been Q3 contenders in the opening🧸 two races of the year.

Tsun⛎oda 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 “rebuild his confidence” throughout the weekend in Japan.

“24 hours on from the Red Bull confirmation, I find myself really hoping that L🅠iam Lawson has a great weekend in Suzuka,” he wrote on his X acco🎶unt.

“Track he knows very ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwell, team who likes and respects him, just need to rebuild his confidence throu💯gh the weekend. Will be fascinating to see him & Yuki.”
