Liam Lawson is definitively sidelined by Red Bull Racing after just two races. From the Japanese Grand Prix onwards, Yuki Tsunoda is Max Verstappen’s new teammate.

I get what you’re saying but Lawson was immediate box office in f2 and then (almost) won super formula and DTM. Doohan had his moments. He wasn’t bad.
Tbf Sergeant’s junior career was impressive, maybe less so I’m f2. de Vries was worse overall IMHO.
Mazepin was pure shit in f2 and pure shit in f1 because you cannot polish a turd.
Neither him nor Doohan were bad, but I wouldn’t say either of them were impressive to the extent that would buy them massive leeway either. They would have never gone for DeVries in the first place if they actually believed in Lawson like they do in someone like Lindblad.
Lawson’s results from Super Formula and DTM are more impressive than junior formula I think, though I don’t know what the field is like there.
I’m still sad about the way it panned out for Sargeant to be honest.
