Red Bull lets one slip through the net

The Red Bull young driver scheme has helped many drivers on their way to F1, but by letting go of Lewis Williamson so soon, it may have missed something, explains Glenn Freeman

"It is a brutally competitive business."

With that, Red Bull signed off its confirmation that, after just five races of the Formula Renault 3.5 season, it was dropping Lewis Williamson from its junior ranks.

The Scot joins a very long list of drivers to be unceremoniously dumped by the Austrian drinks giant's driver programme, but rarely has anyone been dealt such an incredibly harsh hand.
