Lawson admits to ‘no satisfaction’ over beating Tsunoda in Suzuka
Liam Lawson, despite beating his teammate Yuki Tsunoda in the Japanese Grand Prix, admitted that he is not satisfied with his performance. While Lawson finished in 11th place, he missed out on scoring any points after finishing 9th in the previous race in Singapore. However, he is expected to be back in the car for the Qatar Grand Prix, as Daniel Ricciardo is not fully fit due to his hand injury. Lawson will not be on the grid in a Red Bull-backed seat next season, despite calls for him to have one after his strong performances as Ricciardo’s replacement. When asked about finishing ahead of his teammate, Lawson expressed his desire to have a seat and stated that his focus is on doing his best each time he gets into the car. Additionally, Lawson mentioned that AlphaTauri lacked the pace to challenge for points in the Grand Prix, as they were mainly racing against the Alpines, who were faster. Despite this, Lawson believes they maximized their performance.
