Jacques Villeneuve made a direct statement about Liam Lawson: he considers him extremely talented, but…
But let's go slowly. Furthermore, the world champion does not like the attitude represented by Lawson. He also explained why:
“Let’s be clear, Lawson’s seat is fully deserved, he was fast, he did a good job, his path took him to Red Bull. However, we have seen similar situations before, where talented drivers arrive at the first team and then burn out. Also, Liam is very arrogant, almost presumptuous, considering how much experience he has. In any case, the fact that he will be Max Verstappen’s teammate will test him. If he is fast and gives Max problems, then I will apologize.
But if he can’t make things difficult for Verstappen, then his attitude won’t be enough to stay. Also, New Zealand is not a country that offers Formula 1 races or a huge amount of money through drivers for the industry, for the team. So, he has to be good enough if he wants to build a career; his simple swagger won’t be enough here,” – assessed Lawson Villeneuve.
What do you think, will Liam Lawson assert himself?
