F1 paddock divided in judgements over Red Bull’s Liam Lawson axing
Some inside F1 Japanese GP paddock claim Red Bull made "right decision" over Liam La♓wson

Red Bull’s decision to demote 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson has divided opinion 𝓡at the F1 Japan🌳ese Grand Prix.
After two poor showings in the Red Bull, Lawson was unceremoniously demoted ♛for this weekend’s round at Suzuka.
He has been sent back to the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Racing Bulls sister team, with Yuk༺i Tsunoda swapped into the Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen.
Immediately, Lawson went fifth-fastest in FP2 i𝔉𝓀n Japan.
But his fellow dr꧃ivers have had their say on his swift axing from the Red Bull.
Ollie Bearman said💖: “It’s not easy for us. Especially after two races, it’s༺ a quick decision. And not one which I agree with.
“It’s nice for L𝐆iam to find his feet and go again, because I think he’s a great driv🥂er. Like the other rookies, he has a lot of pressure. To have a new beginning is nice.”
Kimi Antonelli: ❀“It is really important to have an academy with the 🌊right support, like I get with Mercedes. Also with good people who support you.”
Oscar Piastri said: “Two🧜 races is not long to figure thi👍ngs out.
“I have raced against Liam in the junior ca💙tegories. These two races weren’t representative of what he’s capable of.”
Red Bull axing Liam Lawson 'the right decision'

Jacques Villenueve said to Sky Sports: “Red Bull is a tough place. They give a lot of dr𓆉ivers a chance, and not many teams do that.
“From a young age, they help them. But it’s a double-𒊎edged sword.
“You get into the main team and you have to perform. If you don’t, 🅠you get chopped, and it happens quickly.”
Naomi Schiff added: “It looks like a harsh decision but ജtruthfully it lo๊oks like the right decision.”
Villeneuve continued: “I🅘t was the right decision because he is pౠerforming better now.
“He is calmer. He was burned, crushed, and you cannot drive like🦩 this. You don’t get out of this hole, it just gets worse.
“Two races in a row he qualified last, in a Red Bull! You can’t do that. You go to bed and don’t sleep, he look🥀s tired.
“It’s better than what hap✃pened to Albon, who was ꧑sent home!”
