Marco: It's pointless to change Tsunoda.

Marco: It's pointless to change Tsunoda.

      No matter who becomes Max Verstappen's teammate, they are unable to handle driving a complex and unruly car, which was designed for Max and only functions properly with him. Replacing drivers does not change anything; first experienced Sergio Perez struggled with the car, then rookie Liam Lawson, and now Yuki Tsunoda, but the result remains the same – the team scores points with only one car. After Tsunoda's latest failure in Austria, the press began searching for candidates to replace him, but with such measures, Red Bull racing advisor Helmut Marko is not rushing – whoever replaces the Japanese driver, it won’t change the outcome. Helmut Marko: "I believe the decision to replace Lawson was correct. Liam was devastated; he needed a few races to get back on his feet. And I don't think he could have done that continuing to race alongside Max. Yuki currently lacks confidence. We are doing everything to help him, but there's no point in replacing him. A different approach is needed here. We need to understand how we can save this situation and earn points with Yuki in the upcoming races."
