Liam Lawson has explained how he initially struggled to get into the groove of FP2 at the Mexico City Grand Prix, having sat out FP1 for Ayumu Iwasa.
Liam Lawson drove around aimlessly at the start of FP2 for the Mexico City Grand Prix, after sitting out the first hour for Ayumu Iwasa, satisfying the first of two required sidelined sessions for the season. This was the first intentional instance of him not completing FP1 in his young career. Lawson missed the opening session due to Daniel Ricciardo’s hand injury at the Dutch Grand Prix in 2023, but this time, he felt lost on track after finishing FP2 at P11 for the Racing Bulls. Despite the challenging conditions at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Lawson managed to get up to speed and adapt to the slippery, high altitude track. He admitted feeling disoriented but acknowledged that the car was in a decent place for the upcoming races.
