Yes and what we have hoping to see from Liam.
Knew he had it in him so really happy to see him do what we know he can do.
Go you good thing. -

Lawson is earning his keep now. The RB strategy team is as well, they nailed the qualifying.
Just hope he can avoid crashing. As qual I showed, Baku is a risky track snd with faster cars behind him, lots of risky overtakes are likely.
If he can escape the star unscathed his chances of getting a good points haul will rise significantly

Hope he stays well away from the Spaniard

Really good drive from Liam.
Speed and maturity and stayed ahead of some serious dudes tonight. -
They could have died.

Great win for Lando Norris in Mexico who know leads the Championship by one point with four races to go: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/clyg2wxppy8o

Decent race to watch with plenty of action if you take out the battle for victory which was non existent.
Russel losing his shit at his race engineer was intriguing. I'm not a large fan of Russel has he came across as a prize dick on Drive To Survive, but I've warmed to him a bit as he's been pretty good for Mercedes. Think every argument he made with this RE I totally agreed with him.
Verstappen nailed the strategy bang on for his start. He was never likely to challenge Norris but he would have had second without a fortunate safety car. He was remarkably sanguine about it (with the safety car sometimes you win, sometimes you lose).
No idea what happened to Lawson, it didn't get any coverage other than the front wing broke. He had a superb Q1, but then seems to shit the bed in Q2. Complaining of no grip, which made little sense given how far ahead he was of Hadjar in Q1.
Bearman, the man. Getting the Haas to 4th is a huge achievement. He ersiously belongs in F1.
As for Yuki ... hard to see where he'll get a drive in 2026. Had a good race last week so I thought he might have finally turned the corner ... but he was abysmal again today.

Apparently they sent him out with old tyres, but who knows? More often than not Q2 seems his limit right now.
He made a great start to the race, but Sainz swerved (apparently to avoid a snarl up ahead of him, did he lose control?) presumably on cold tyres, or worst case to push Liam way off the track, and collided with his front wing and damaged the car making it unable to continue
