Lawson: I didn't expect this and I'm shocked by Red Bull's decision.
Liam Lawson said that he was surprised by the decision of the Red Bull management to transfer him from Red Bull Racing to Racing Bulls after two races of the new Formula 1 season.
Liam Lawson: "To be honest, I'm shocked by this decision. I did not expect such a development. Yes, my team and I had discussions, but these discussions did not indicate the direction in which everything was unfolding. I definitely didn't expect anything like this."
When the New Zealand driver was asked if he deserved to spend more time at Red Bull Racing to prove himself, Liam replied: "To be honest, yes. I would have liked to spend more time with the team and compete on tracks that I knew.
The beginning of the season turned out to be difficult. We had difficult pre-season tests and the first weekend in Melbourne with a missed training session, then there was a stage in China with a sprint. The Red Bull car is difficult to drive, but if I could have raced on the tracks I've raced on before, I would have used this opportunity.
Obviously, this is not my decision, so now I will try to make the most of the opportunities that are available now."
