Lawson will mull ‘poor’ Qatar Sprint error in final F1 deputy outing
Lawson has been filling in for Daniel Ricciardo in the AlphaTauri AT04 since Ricciardo broke his left hand in a crash in August. Lawson had been performing well in his first four races, with a ninth-place finish in Singapore being his best result. However, he made a high-profile mistake at the start of the Sprint Race when he lost control of his car and ended up in the gravel. Lawson admits that he will need to reflect on the incident once he returns to the sidelines. He emphasizes the importance of making the most of his limited time in Formula 1 and not making mistakes like this. In the grand prix, Lawson encountered more difficulties, including being cut off by Lance Stroll, which cost him positions. He finished in 17th place, his worst result during his substitute spell. Lawson acknowledges that it’s tough to end his time as a substitute on a low note. Ricciardo is expected to return for the next race in Austin, Texas.
