Liam Lawson made it clear to anyone who was watching that Racing Bulls was helping a team which is supposed to be a rival when he let Max Verstappen overtaken him at Interlagos. Days later Racing Bulls announced Lawson had a new contract.

One of our readers says the relationship between Red Bull’s two Formula 1 teams deserves greater scrutiny:

The repeated notification that it was Max coming up behind him would suggest that this was a veiled instruction, and he carried out the instruction in the spirit it was intended.

The problem is that he notified the rest of us of his action.

I have never been a fan of this, and do not understand why no one, not the teams nor the pundits, doesn’t make more of a fuss about it.
