Liam Lawson’s British Grand Prix ended on the opening lap of the race following a clash with Esteban Ocon.
Liam Lawson stated that he was “trying to survive” before getting wiped out of contention on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix. He was running towards the rear of the pack in slippery conditions at the time. As he rounded Turn 5, Lawson collided with Esteban Ocon’s Haas while trying to avoid Yuki Tsunoda, causing a high-speed spin that broke the suspension of his Racing Bulls car, ending his race. Lawson expressed disappointment as he had driven cautiously on the opening lap to avoid such a situation, feeling confident in the car’s performance. Reflecting on the incident, he mentioned considering a pit stop for slick tires like his teammate did, but ultimately stuck with the intermediate compound due to the wet conditions in the last sector, believing it was the right decision.
