@Snowy sounds like the car wasn't great all weekend. They admit it in the article. Apparently he was trying hard to keep it out of the wall

Yeah, I gathered that and yet Yuki went well. Just a bad weekend all round from setup to strategy. Bad time to have one of those.

Thankfully one dud race with reasons won't put the kaibosh on Liam's furture - I hope

Despite what is written in the media, the teams have the telemetry, and know who is getting the best out of their cars. So if he is good enough, regardless of results, they know

Good sprint qualifying for Lawson. He finished 10th.. he was 9th but had a time deleted

Perez 16th & Tsunoda 17th

Billy Tell

An absolute mare of a start saw Lawson drop from 10 to 17. Saving grace: Perez finished dead last in 20th.

Billy Tell

Lawson not great. But Perez managed to get himself eliminated while in 5th.

RB race pace was slow all weekend. Tsunoda 13th, Lawson 14th (15 cars finished). The sprint was Lawson 16th, Tsunoda 17th. Not much either can do when the pace wasn’t there

Sayonara Perez. Not even 1 lap.

Lawson screwed by his team who didn’t tighten front left properly:(

Bones

Max calling the stewards idiots for penalising him for doing his usual corner using the other car as a buffer and fuck the other driver's race.

He was in eighth place at the time. Sounds like he drove a good race

Lawson has done an ok job. Not bad, but not clearly superior to Tsunoda.

I think he needs a full season in RB to show his stuff properly. He doesn’t look like Red Bull quality. Yet.

Rumour mill of Bottas to Red Bull has quieted down, I thought that made a lot of sense. So who knows, fingers crossed for him.

Hadn't even heard that, only heard he's likely off to Mercedes.

Yeah that’s where it is now. A few weeks ago there was talk.

Be nice if he can stay in f1. Good driver to watch.

I missed when he was actually good and the only time I notice him now is generally when he's being passed easily.

Billy Tell

Gasny has been in great form but he’s ex red bull. Sainz would have been another choice. Hope Lawson gets it then we see what he can do in a proper car.

Eighth place not having pitted. He was heading for 10 to 14 but had to pit again to bolt tire properly.
