Internet reacts: 'Lawson has been robbed'
Red Bull Content Pool
General
Helmut Marko has decided: Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda will represent AlphaTauri on the grid in Formula 1 in 2024. That choice has been widely criticised on the internet, as why is the impressive Liam Lawson being passed over in favour of an already 34-year-old driver? Here are some of the reactions.
Plenty of criticism of choice for Ricciardo
This is one of the most undeserved signings in F1 history https://t.co/YcU1JRNyru

One more year of Red Bull not giving Liam Lawson the race seat he deserves

If this means no Liam Lawson seat i’m going to kick up - I’m happy for Danny and Yuki, but Liam is too good to only be a reserve driver, it’s rare talent going to waste - Someone sign him. https://t.co/3TG0ijJgHZ

liam lawson being the best performing alpha tauri driver and not getting a seat just proves that PR capability and image matter more to some teams than actual talent

Liam Lawson in 3 races everyone.

Immediately on the pace, near points & Yuki immediately, first driver to overtake Max on track all yr. Did the best race result of year for Alpha Tauri, scored points on his 3rd race, and out qualified Max.

Best case scenario: Fire Marko, he's a dinosaur and made the wrong call with Lawson and Devries. Offer David Coulthard the motorsport advisor job. Teammate of Mika Häkkinen, test driver for Ayrton Senna, 13x Gran prix winner. Marko never won a race
