Brilliant by Lawson, makes Q3.

[Bones]

Just when it was looking peachy, Lawson sneaks past Tsunoda "after the bell", only for Tsunoda to sneak back past. Shittest RB driver of the day.

[canefan]

Now he has to survive the start and race clean. I heard rain might be coming which might suit him well, if he can get away clean

Lawson in the points finishing in 8th place in Belgium. A McLaren one-two with Piastri getting the victory.

Liam Lawson eighth at Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix after well-timed pass on team-mate

[Duluth]

Yeah solid drive from Lawson. Qualified 9th, finished 8th

Caught up with Alonso & Sainz in the Drivers Standings. No big gaps at this end of the table.. so he's a good chance of gaining more places soon

Out the front, Piastri continued his edge over Norris

[Duluth]

Lawson qualified 9th, just ahead of Hadjar annd just behind Max

Leclerc on poll ahead of the McLarens

Tsunoda back in 16th.

Hamilton didn't get out of Q2 and seems depressed

[canefan]

Nice quali for LL and Racing Bulls. They'll be hoping to convert another good chance for points

[sparky]

Lewis Hamilton was a magnificent driver back in the day. But those times are long gone. Getting old is a bitch, but he's got to face the reality that he's not the driver he once was.

He should retire and enjoy the millions that he's earned.

[Bones]

Something doesn't seem right at Ferrari. Both drivers are constantly bitching at their race engineers, way beyond just the odd spat.

[MajorPom]

@Bones did you see Cullen is back as Hamilton’s assistant?

I only noticed that this qual, not sure how long she’s been back.

[Bones]

Lewis showing all his maturity again. Just don't be a dick and answer some fucking mail in questions you moran.

Meanwhile, Liam Lawson holds off Max for around 20 laps to secure P8. He was also the top ranked Red Bull driver on the day. That's got to feel good going into the Summer break

Decent results recently

Points in 3 of the last 4 races
Ahead of Tsunoda & Hadjar in 3 of the last 4
First of the 4 red bull cars in 2 of the last 4

2 points back from Hadjar, 4 from Stroll, and Alonso and Ocon are in reach

[Duluth]

Red Bull fluff video. Lawson in a rally car

[Bones]

Lawson having a day or two to forget. Dead last in qualy. Mind you Hadjar got knocked out in Q1 too.

[Bones]

Lawson gains a place already. Great racing.

In other news, Hadjar getting a new power unit.

[antipodean]

Lawson qualifies third at Baku as both Piastri and LeClerc put their cars into the wall during qualifying.

[Rangi]

He has been quick all weekend and the fact he did his best time in the dying minutes of Q3 showed some real composure.

That quick lap in the dying stages of Q3 was particularly impressive with chaos going on all around him.
