Lawson laments Suzuka red flag as Super Formula title hopes fade
Red Bull Formula 1 junior Liam Lawson finished sixth in the penultimate round of the season after the race was stopped due to a crash between Hiroki Otsu and Ukyo Sasahara. Lawson struggled in qualifying and was unable to set a competitive time due to a red flag. He believes that he could have qualified second if he had been able to complete his lap. Unfortunately, he did not have fresh tires like his competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. Despite starting sixth, he was unable to move up the field before the race was stopped. Lawson now trails the top two contenders in the championship standings and admits that winning the title is unlikely unless they encounter misfortune in the final race at Suzuka.
