Liam Lawson delivers ‘not as bad as it looks’ verdict after ‘fair share of issues’
Liam Lawson believes that the challenges he faced during the Italian Grand Prix were not as severe as they may have appeared initially. At Monza, Lawson revisited a track he had some prior experience with from a previous F1 outing in 2023. The weekend was turbulent, with struggles in practice and a disappointing qualifying session that resulted in an 18th place start on the grid. Despite efforts to improve the car’s performance overnight, Lawson encountered setbacks and finished the race in 14th position. He attributed some of the difficulties to Monza’s unique low downforce track characteristics, which didn’t fully complement the car’s strengths. Despite the setbacks, Lawson remains optimistic and sees room for improvement moving forward.
