After watching a bit of Drive to Survive, I totally agree. I did not realise how much having commercial backers who will bring money to the team matters. Lawson is a very talented driver with much less backing. But either way he will be a success, whether it be for AT or RB in future, another F1 team, or in Indy car or anyone else who will pay drivers to race

He's Japanese in a team with Honda engines. The person to move on would be Ricciardo, but they probably want him for car development.

He's still a RB academy driver. But when he leaves, if he doesn't get a seat with them he's put himself out in the shop window if other teams are looking for a talented young driver who can earn points. He took 3 races to get 2 points, Tsunoda has accumulated 3 points after racing every GP this season
-
Lawson qualified 11th just edged out of Q3 by Alonso
He didn’t out qualify his teammate this time - Tsunoda 9th

@Duluth looks like he just fucked the last corner otherwise he might've.
Aston Martin have gone to shit though eh.

Lawson managed to finish ahead in the feature race though, holding off Tsunoda for several laps on shit tires. He continues to impress

Meanwhile, guys like Stroll and Perez are lucky they have money behind them
Tsunoda has an engine manufacturer
Yup. It's all about the money. Good thing is Lawson has put himself firmly in the shop window for top level drives. It'll be F1 or Indycar, but the likelihood is the kid from Pukekohe will get paid soon

Yeah was it almost twenty laps or something? Brilliant. Odds on that bet would've been phenomenal.

It's a travesty that he doesn't get to drive next year. But F1 is not about ability, it's all about the money

Not sure that's true. Yes, there are a few there on money, but the best drivers in the world are in F1, no question.
Brendon Hartley has had a huge amount of success but he was around a second a lap slower than his team mate.
Lawson wlll get a permanent F1 drive for sure based on his Alpha Tauri drives.

You must not be talking about Lance Stroll. There are a few others in the field that appear to be there based on their financial power as much as their driving ability
