“We have a duty of care to protect and develop Liam“- Christian Horner

He says while shoving Liam feet first into the meat grinder.
- Head first and he wouldn't have time to learn from the experience
- I feel that the second Red Bull seat is more of the meat-grindy experience. Racing Bulls is the chef who takes the ground meat and forms it into an F1 driver-shaped patty. Like a Red Bull McNugget of a driver.

  YUKI "MCNUGGET" TSUNODA!
- They put him into the meat grinder when they put him into the red bull seat. He was nowhere near ready for that experience wise.
  
  I think that's what the comment means. But still I think it's not only on them. Liam publicly and very very probably internally massively lobbied for him getting that seat rather earlier than later. I mean, sure, no one would say "no please let me learn first", but it's IMO not 100% on RBR.

At least they recognised he was struggling mentally early on and didn't drag it out, but he should never have been in that seat in the first place.
Like, what the hell are they doing? Did they learn nothing from the Albon situation?
