Red Bull's alarm bells may be ringing, but it only has itself to blame for what is happening to Liam Lawson.

Despite what Red Bull claims, its car is designed around the ultra-sharp on-the-nose set-up Verstappen demands, allowing him to extract performances seemingly beyond its capability

I hear this a lot about the RB cars and I believe it, but can anyone give me some examples of choices the RB cars have that makes them difficult to drive for everyone but Max?

I think Albon described it really well a while back. Think of the equivalent in gaming terms of playing an FPS with your mouse sensitivity turned all the way to maximum. That's how sharp Max likes his cars.

If it's super on the nose, it should be very high performance under breaking and the rear end will want to slide out. That makes it super unstable feeling.

I think max is probably leagues above most others with accepting that and working it to his advantage. If it makes you uneasy you probably just don't brake hard or push super hard

I can add: usually a high rake angle, a bit less rear mechanical grip (but more aero grip), which means the car feels even more different at lower speeds than higher. Really light rear ends are very fast and good on tire wear when driven perfectly, but unforgiving

That's my armchair understanding
