Formula 1 News: Lawson confirmed what Verstappen already knew – the RB22 is a dog

Liam Lawson's substitute appearance at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort confirmed what Max Verstappen has been saying since March: the Red Bull RB22 suffers from severe grip and traction problems across all four wheels. Verstappen qualified seventh at his home race, crashed on lap one, while Lawson finished seventh, 80 seconds behind race winner Lando Norris, and also received a 10-second penalty. Red Bull sits fourth in the constructors' championship, 239 points behind Mercedes, with Verstappen sixth in the drivers' standings on 112 points compared to championship leader Kimi Antonelli's 242.
