If there's one thing that can be described as a negative sensation of the season, it's Liam Lawson's performance. The Red Bull Racing youngster is performing so poorly that his team could drop him before the Japanese Grand Prix...
Of course, Max Verstappen also has an opinion on the situation, and - although it may not be obvious from the context - he defended his teammate:
"We know, we see that all the other teams have drivers close together. This also shows that our car is extremely hard, very difficult to drive. I think if Liam Lawson moved to Racing Bulls now, he would be immediately faster and more competitive. The car is much easier to drive than ours. Last year I would not have thought that it would work like this, the team saw the difference between Yuki Tsunoda and him, that's why they put him in the second Red Bull Racing car," said Max Verstappen.
