Jacques Villeneuve: Lawson's own fault

      Jacques Villeneuve does not sympathize with Liam Lawson – on the contrary, he believes that the New Zealander himself is largely to blame for what happened, as a result of which, after just two races, he was "demoted" and returned to Racing Bulls, where he began his career in Formula 1. At the same time, his place at Red Bull Racing was given to Yuki Tsunoda, which The Japanese racer has been dreaming for a long time.

      "You have to keep in mind that when Lawson first came to Formula 1, he had a very arrogant attitude,– said the 1997 world champion. – Then he said how wonderful he would be performing, and his attitude to what was happening was exactly that.

      But when such a rider doesn't show results, everyone reacts to it quite harshly. In fact, his results were worse than any other driver who has ever driven a Red Bull car, so now he has to pay for his own attitude.

      You could say it was his own fault. When you come to Red Bull Racing, you have to perform at the right level right away, because you have to pay for getting a place in the best team.

      Are you willing to take that risk? Well, that's good, but just remember that everything has a downside: if you fail, you'll have to pay a high price."
