      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.

                  Hopefully it will be a good foundation for him to do well in quali later

                  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.

                                      I think they’ll give him a few more races to get a handle on things but if he doesn’t improve by mid season I’d say he will be gone. Brutal sport.

                                        Lawson dead last in qualifying.

                                        Tsunoda laughing at him in 3rd.

                                        Lawson really is not gelling with this car.

                                        I don't think Yuki will want a bar of that RB seat now

                                        I think they’ll give him a few more races to get a handle on things but if he doesn’t improve by mid season I’d say he will be gone. Brutal sport.

                                        I think that car is a donkey right now. As it turned out Liam would have been better to have been given a start in the junior team

                                          This could ruin his career before it’s begun. Funny how the world works aye.
