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

[MajorRage]

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.

It would be tough. Perez never seemed to come to grips with the car, it seems odd that they don't develop a more neutral car as a base. But opportunities like that don't come around very often. He'll grab it with both hands if offered

Breaking news: Liam Lawson turns down Red Bull. Says he wants a car that’s “easier to drive”. Multiple other constructors reported to be lining up to sign the prodigious Kiwi talent.
