RB driver Liam Lawson admitted that he expected Fernando Alonso to be tougher with him during their on-track battle in the United States Grand Prix, but was surprised when Alonso was actually nice to him. Despite a tense moment between the two during qualifying, Lawson felt there was no lingering grudge between them. Lawson, who gained 10 places on his first grand prix start in a year, considered the points return crucial in showing Red Bull what he is capable of, especially ahead of teammate Yuki Tsunoda. He acknowledged Alonso’s experience and the opportunity to learn from him, as well as expressed satisfaction with the progress made with the car over the weekend. Lawson attributed his success to the hard work put in by the team and his own dedication to training over the past year to be ready for such opportunities in Formula 1.
