Lawson was informed of Qatar GP appearance via Ricciardo call
Lawson has been standing in for Ricciardo at the previous four grands prix due to Ricciardo’s hand injury. He has performed well in his substitute appearances, achieving AlphaTauri’s best result of the year. Originally, it was uncertain if Lawson would continue driving beyond the Japan weekend, but Ricciardo has postponed his return, allowing Lawson to partner with Tsunoda once again. Lawson received the news directly from Ricciardo through a surprise FaceTime call. While he is excited to be back in the car, Lawson expects Ricciardo to make his comeback at the Austin Grand Prix in two weeks.
