Jacques Villeneuve has made an unqualified statement about Liam Lawson: He considers the pilot extremely talented, but…
But with a calm mind. Moreover, the world champion does not like the position that Lawson takes. He also said why:
"Let's be clear, Lawson's place is completely deserved, he was fast, he did a good job, the direct path took him to Red Bull. On the other hand, we have seen talented drivers come to the first team and then burn out there. On top of that, Liam is very arrogant, almost cocky, considering how much experience he has. In any case, being Max Verstappen's teammate will test him thoroughly. If he is fast and causes Max problems, then I apologize.
"But if he can't push Verstappen, then his character alone is not enough to survive. Plus, New Zealand is not a country that gives Formula 1 races or huge amounts of money through a driver to the sport, the team. So he has to be good enough if he wants to make a career, his simple audacity won't be enough here," Villeneuve said of Lawson.
What do you think, will Liam Lawson hold up?
