Sharing the RB garage with Daniel Ricciardo in Singapore knowing that he’d soon be ousting the Australian veteran was “definitely not an enjoyable weekend” for Liam Lawson
During the Singapore Grand Prix event, Liam Lawson shared the RB garage with Daniel Ricciardo, knowing he would replace the Australian veteran in the Formula 1 seat, which he found to be an unpleasant weekend. Lawson hinted that he had been aware of the impending change for about two weeks before it was publicly announced. While there were rumors of Lawson replacing Ricciardo, the latter seemed to only grasp the reality as the weekend progressed. Lawson admitted feeling uncomfortable sharing the garage with Ricciardo, who handled the situation admirably and encouraged Lawson to make the most of his F1 opportunity. The handling of the situation by Red Bull remains murky, but it appears they had intentions of the switch before the Singapore weekend. It seems that Red Bull evaluated their drivers closely, leading to Ricciardo’s replacement by Lawson due to Perez’s solid performances.
