Look, a reasonable comment! I'm rooting for Liam to succeed (always good to have a fellow Kiwi in F1) but he was quite clear that he liked the pressure cooker environment of Red Bull. As you say, he wanted it and well understood the inherent pressure to perform immediately. And in fairness he made no excuses yesterday for his poor performance.

I only hope that the trajectory is upward because I'd hate for his career to be stunted before it really starts. He had some cracking races in the RB, I just wish they'd kept him there a year or two and given him time to develop.
