Jacques Villeneuve made a blunt statement about Liam Lawson: he considers the driver extremely talented, but…
But calm is needed. Furthermore, the world champion doesn't like Lawson's attitude. He also explained why:
"Let's get this straight, Lawson's seat is fully deserved. He was fast, did a good job, and his straight path led him to Red Bull. However, we've seen this before: talented drivers make it to the top team and then burn out there. Also, Liam is very arrogant; you could almost call him conceited, considering how much experience he has. Anyway, the fact that he'll be teammates with Max Verstappen will seriously test him. If he's fast and causes problems for Max, then I'll back down.
But if he can't put pressure on Verstappen, then his own attitude will be insufficient to survive. Besides, New Zealand isn't a country that gives Formula 1 races, nor does it provide a huge amount of money to the sport through the driver or the team. So he has to be good enough if he wants to have a race; his mere aggression here will be insufficient," Lawson Villeneuve assessed.
What do you think, will Liam Lawson be able to stay in his position?
