 | BBC journalist Benson: Red Bull continues to take the pilots of the second echelon to work, which will only cope with a high -level racer8-06-2025 |
The approach of Red Bull to the choice of pilots is doomed to failure, Benson believes. The editor of the BBC Formal section, Andrew Benson, analyzed the catastrophic debut of Liam Lawson in Red Bull.
New Zealander became the 18th in qualification and completed the race.
Max Ferstappen - a brilliant racer, great for all times. Any pilot in the second car, Red Bull understands that he will have a struggle of his lifetime, if he wants to get ahead of the Dutchman, this applies to other top-liners F-1.
This is the internal contradiction in the approach of Red Bull. The team does not need a pilot that is able to challenge to Vermstappen. She wants a partner to provide sufficient support and take points from the opponents, which would make it easier for Ferstappen to a personal title, and the team to the championship in the test of designers.
The problem is that Red Bull continues to take the pilots of the second echelon to work, which will only cope with a high -level racer. For this season, one could take Carlos Sains, who even re -qualified Berstappen with a very small margin when they were partners in Toro Rosso back in 2015.
But his candidate was rejected due to the fact that friction in the team could potentially arise. As a result, Sergio Perez was chosen, and this decision was puzzled by many in the F-1. It turned out to be a failure when the Mexican spent the second bad season, and the contract had to be redeemed.
Now the team has chosen Liam Lawson, a beginner with 11 races behind her shoulders, who has not yet confirmed its level. In Melbourne, Lawson was thrown into the pool, and he experienced problems - this is still mildly said.
The situation is aggravated by the fact that the car is developed in accordance with Fertappen`s feedback. He prefers a very sharp front axle and is able to adapt to the rear axle, which inevitably turns out unstable. Only racers with the highest level of talent can cope with such characteristics, and only riders with the highest level of psychological stability are able to cope with the role of Fertappen`s partner, ”Benson wrote.
