Steiner: Good luck to Lawson in trying to get ahead of Verstappen

      In the new season, Liam Lawson will be Max Verstappen's partner in Red Bull Racing, replacing Sergio Perez. Former head of Haas Gunter Steiner believes that the team made the wrong choice, and should have given a chance to Yuki Tsunoda. Gunter Steiner: "I do not think that in Red Bull made the right choice. They had to compromise and that was one of the choices. I believe that Yuki should have been given a chance. I'm not saying he deserves it, because nobody deserves anything, but it would have been better to put Tsunoda behind the wheel for the upcoming season and see how he does. If he doesn't perform well enough, then in that case let him go. But now Tsunoda has to spend another season at Racing Bulls, which certainly doesn't motivate him. He's putting out more than usual, but not getting the opportunity to take the next step. In that case, why keep him on the team? This will be his fifth season on the youth team, right? Are you sure it's a youth team? Good luck to Liam if he tries to beat Verstappen. No one's ever done that before. If Liam is smart, he will position himself as number two and try to learn as much as he can this year to get closer to Max. It's his only chance, he won't be able to beat Verstappen because no one else has. You have to be realistic about what you can and can't do. Lawson is just a good driver who tries hard."
