Jacques Villeneuve uncompromising statement on Liam Lawson: He thinks the driver is extremely talented, but…
But let's not judge the day before the sun sets. What's more, the world champion doesn't like the attitude represented by Lawson. He also said why:
"Let's get this straight, Lawson deserves his place, he was fast, he did a good job and his path led to Red Bull. On the other hand, we've seen situations like this before where talented drivers get into the first team and then burn out. What's more, Liam is very arrogant, you could even call him cocky, considering how much experience he has. In any case, the fact that he's going to be Max Verstappen's teammate will be a real test for him. If he's fast and causes problems for Max, then I'll apologise to him.
"But if he can't put Verstappen under pressure, then his character will not be enough to survive. Furthermore, New Zealand is not a country that supplies Formula 1 races, nor does it invest huge amounts of money in the sport through a driver or team. So he has to be good enough if he wants to make a career, his simple directness will not be enough here," Villeneuve assessed Lawson.
What do you think, can Liam Lawson handle it?
