Lawson reveals Ricciardo call over Qatar GP drive
AlphaTauri stand-in Liam Lawson received a surprising phone call during lunch, which turned out to be a FaceTime call from Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo informed Lawson that he would be given another weekend to drive alongside Yuki Tsunoda at the Qatar Grand Prix. Lawson had made his F1 debut earlier this year, replacing Ricciardo due to his hand injury. Although Lawson was not chosen for a full-time seat next season, he had impressed in his races and scored his first career points in Singapore. Initially, Ricciardo was targeting a comeback at the Qatar Grand Prix, but he will instead return at the United States Grand Prix. Lawson believes it is more likely that Ricciardo will indeed be back in Austin, but nothing is certain at this point.
