Lawson/Tsunoda Switch Talk for Red Bull Crunch Numbers

red Bull The team’s principal Christian Horner may not be aware of this, but he was channeling the inner William Edwards Deming because he discussed Liam LawsonFuture after another disappointing outing in Chinese Grand Prix.

“Without data, you are just another person with an opinion,” the American Statistics and Business theorist once said – and now Horner is hanging the position of Lawson within the team on the same principle.

After finishing 18th in Australia in the previous weekend, Lawson was qualifying for both Sprint Race and Grand Prix in Shanghai.

He has started both his Grands Prix for Red Bull from Pitlane to date, crashed in difficult conditions in New Josender Melbourne and finished 12th in China, taking advantage of other cars, as well as a trio of disqualification on the field along with issues.

Autosport said before the second race for the season that Lawson’s place in the senior red bull outfit was already coming under pressure. Yuki SunodaWhich was left Racing bulls After the decision to promote Lawson ahead of him.

After the Chinese Grand Prix, Horner said, “I think Liam had a difficult pair of race, here was a difficult weekend.” “We have chosen him to get him out of the grid from Parc Ferme to make an important set-up change and so we have managed to get 56 laps of appropriate data from him.

“Obviously we will take it away, we will take a good look at it and as a group we will try our best to support it.

“We will simply continue to evaluate it. We will take a pile of data to go and take a look. This is what we will do. Obviously there are 400 engineers in our team which are trailing through all 600 sensors that are on the car. We have a lot of information that we have.

“I think there is a lot of information, how he is driving the car, what he is getting from the car, what we can do, what can we do to help him, where his major issues are, where are the cause of inconsistency, what is the cause of inconsistency, on all those issues.”

Horner, a fortnight in a fortnight, refused to comment on speculation to add speculation to the red bull before the race of his home in Japan, even thus failed to shoot any suggestion, a switch.

He said, “Padock is always going to be speculated. As I say, we have only completed the race here. We will take away the information and take a good look at it,” he said.

“Nothing is specific that has been established. I think everything is purely speculative at this time. I think Liam still has the ability. We are not just just feeling it.

“I am not even going to comment on a change, because this will be your first title. As I say, we have two races in this championship. We have a sample of two.

“We have a lot of information. We are going away and are going to take a good look at it, and work with Liam and do the best we can do for him.

“I think the problem for him is that he has a truly difficult weekend. He has found all the media on his back, a full bunch. The pressure grows naturally in this business, and I am very sorry for him. You can see that it is very difficult at that time.

“I think he is a young man. We have got a duty to take care of him and we are going to do best we can support him. And, yes, Liam is still a very competent driver. We know that we are not looking at it for any reason. We are not able to give it at this time.”
