      So Lawson was slow for reason yesterday and now has mechanical issues that ruin his p3. Qualifying will be difficult

        I just read he had recharge issues today, was that the same yesterday too then?

          @Bones no mechanical issues yesterday. Maybe they just hadn’t got the setup right?

            From the commentary I heard they said he just wasn't feeling comfortable in the setup and by his own admission wasn't fast enough.

                @Bones

                Not sure what you mean? The battery issue today meant he was barely on track in p3

                Yesterday he was just slow. They might not have got the setup right for him yet? Max was slow initially but came right

                    Sounds like they were doing some major tinkering with the car. Seems odd they have left settling in so late

                        Should have kept the mystery.

                          Crazy start to the AGP with three cars crashed out in the first lap, including Carlos Sainz and son of Aussie legend Jack Doohan. Lawson will want the conditions to stay a little rough for a wee bit longer to try and give him a chance to jump some places.
                          Already Verstappen looks at home in sub optimal conditions jumping Piastri into P2

                            Just as the track dried a bit and most cars changed to slick tires , rain is coming. This could get crazy. Liam on medium tires should chance his arm and stay out. As I type, Piastri has spun into the grass and Max leads as Norris pits. LL has leapfrogged to 7th as a number of cars pit to get rain tires on

                              Lawson and a bunch of other drivers crashed out on medium tires in the rain, Piastri and the Ferraris at the tail of the field.

                              We have a 6 lap shootout and the rain has stopped. Typical Melbourne day

                                  Typing as I watch. Piastri at the tail. Ferraris were leading and the gamble to run on slicks seemed to be paying off until they were forced to pit and change tires

                                        Sounds like he's shit stirring. It was clear they used Lawson to test stuff for Max. His car was slow due to a rear wing among other things, and mechanical problems robbed him of valuable practice time on an unfamiliar track. He set the second fastest lap time of the race, and at the end he crashed because they left him out in the rain with slicks on, a fate suffered by other drivers. Hopefully they get his package sorted sooner than later and he can give it a decent crsck

                                          Unlike other teams such as McLaren, where the two drivers are relatively even and pitted against each other, RB is built for Max, and the second driver must be a good teammate and support him, much like a domestique would in the Tour de France. I am sure once they sort Max's car out they will turn their attention to Liam and he will get a more competitive package
