FIA Steward makes damning criticism over Red Bull's approach with Verstappen's teammates

First Sergio Perez, then Liam Lawson, and now Yuki Tsunoda. What did these three drivers have in common? All three, to varying degrees, were swept aside by the overwhelming superiority of Max Verstappen, who for years has been the sole pillar holding up Red Bull.

Derek Warwick, former Formula 1 driver and now a member of the FIA race steward panel, tried to answer these questions. He spoke about Red Bull's approach to a betting site as follows: "I think Red Bull must find a way to make that second car fast, because it's clear that driving the same car as Max doesn't work''.

According to the Briton, Perez was overall the driver who came out the least diminished in comparison to Verstappen: "It shows that Perez performed better than we gave him credit for. I think they should say that Yuki is in [the car] for the entire season."

"You shouldn't keep saying that you're looking at other drivers and stuff like that, because it just puts pressure on their driver.”

Warwick believes that the pressure has made Tsunoda lose his identity: “He's not relaxed, and eventually, he goes over the limit and brakes too late. I think they need to give that second driver, whoever it is, the confidence that he's in for the entire season."

Finally, Warwick came to the following conclusion: "Was it a mistake to let Perez go? It seems so."
