        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

              Given they selected Lawson after testing, it seems more likely to me that the car isn't as good/ benign/ balanced as other teams. It's just suits Max and /or you need his level of skill to make it competitive.

                Might explain why so many of Max's team mates struggled to keep their cars on the road too

                    Why? There is zero difference between Max and him. 2 + 0 = 20

                      Lawson absolutely has to get out of Q1. He's had more time in the car and track now after the sprint race.

                        He had a decent run in the sprint, jumped 6 places. Hopefully it will be a good foundation for him to do well in quali later

                          Yeah he was stuck in a DRS train behind Alonso but overtaking Sauber and Haas vehicles shouldn't be considered an achievement.

                          Fingers crossed.

                            5 places, but probably overtook more cars than anyone else? Even Norris struggled to overtake and Anotonelli sat within DRS range of Tsunoda for seemingly the whole race without getting past.

                                Looked like the track was really ramping up too, pretty poor effort. It was weird watching him do sector PBs then finishing and tumbling down the grid - was his final sector shit?

                                    His PBs weren't competitive with everyone else.

                                    Could just be it's a dog of a car that Max performs miracles in.

                                    There are rumours Max will be in Team MB.

                                          Lawson dead last in qualifying.

                                          Looked like the track was really ramping up too, pretty poor effort. It was weird watching him do sector PBs then finishing and tumbling down the grid - was his final sector shit?

                                          His PBs weren't competitive with everyone else.

                                          Could just be it's a dog of a car that Max performs miracles in.

                                          There are rumours Max will be in Team MB.
