Steiner: Let Lawson drive in Japan!

      The former head of the Haas F1 team, Gunther Steiner, sympathizes with Liam Lawson. In the Red Flags podcast, he called for giving the rider some more time.…

      Gunther Steiner: "I think that's Lawson's problem. If you're half a second slower than your partner, that's a lot. But when the difference is more than a second, it should have an explanation, because last year at RB he did a great job.

      After joining Red Bull Racing, he just can't get back to his previous level. Is he pushing himself too hard? Maybe that's the point. There's just too much pressure.

      I would tell the team, "Let Lawson drive in Japan!" Everyone says that he has never raced in Australia before, never competed in China. But he knows the track in Suzuka very well, he competed there in the SuperFormula series, and they have very fast cars. If he can do it in Suzuka, then at least he'll have hope. If nothing works out in Japan, then it's really time to change something."
