Lawson qualifies eighth for Brazilian Grand Prix Sprint - VelocityNews

Liam Lawson has qualified eighth for Sunday morning’s Brazilian Grand Prix Sprint Race in this morning’s qualifying session at Interlagos. The VCARB #30 driver progressed through SQ1 and SQ2 to make the top ten, before going faster than Alex Albon and Ollie Bearman in SQ3 to put his car on the...

No wonder Liam isn't making any friends, he keeps beating them all and that's not fun

He’s 8th. Not first! And only in qual for the sprint.

He’s a talent for sure, but usually you have to win races before you can become an arse.

haven't looked at any stats but i'm feeling the back markers have started to press up a little
field getting even more compressed
getting even more fun

Ha ha. Wet weather playing havoc with qualification. Sayonara Perez and Verstappen. Lawson into q3.

In the lower formulas, Lawson has always had the rep that he excelled in the wet

[Billy Tell]

He’s keeps getting good times when he’s in the elimination zone. Shows steel and good concentration.

[Billy Tell]

In surprising news Verstappen is blaming something.

[canefan]

Albon hits the barrier hard, I guess he won't take part in the main race now. Looks like carnage out there

[Billy Tell]

Our compatriot starts 5th on grid. Survival of the wettest.

Classic eh, if he was in front of the crash and got red flagged, he'd moan about that.

Tsunoda in P3, so the young kids of VCARB had a good morning

[Billy Tell]

Much as I don’t like him O for awesome for Verstappen. But Lawson great finishing 9 holding off Hamilton and most importantly Perez for 15 odd laps. Insane race.

[Bones]

@Billy-Tell 17th to a fifth of a lap faster than anyone else. Ridiculous.

[MajorRage]

This race showed the diff in class between Max snd everybody else. He’s a generational driver.

Lando just isn’t close.

[Cyclops]

Yeah, much as I hate the way he drives, rain really evens out the differences in car performance, leaving driver talent to shine.

He reminds me of Schumacher a bit. The best driver, but also a total psychopath who will do anything to win. Sometimes I wonder if Senna and Schumacher's legacies actually do more damage to F1 by encouraging drivers to think anything is okay to get the win.

[Bones]

@Cyclops seems to have toned down... maybe it was just yesterday but there were a couple of moments where you expected Max to push the limits a bit more and he held back.

[Machpants]

Well he's pretty mcuh got the champs sewn up now, outside of a couple of real disasters - he just needs to stay in the top few and he wins

[Billy Tell]

Perez goneburgers in Q1. Lawson thru by the skin of his teeth.

[Duluth]

..and Tsunoda a little quicker so far. He was 10th in Q1

Perez is total dead weight

[Billy Tell]

Tsunoda is making Lawson sweat. They might promote him instead.
