Always felt sorry for him when he got booted from RB main team...

I like him - solid driver.

Agreed, same with Albon too imo. Especially when you consider how many lifelines RB have given to Perez, but we all know why..

 

[Flibster]

And they're looking at moving Lawson to Perez seat apparently. Yet another young career for them to kill.

 

[Kenai]

I wonder if Brundle feels awkward trying to talk up the Ferrari chances like this, as if he doesn't understand that it's barely even remotely on without a fairly sizeable problem for Norris

 

[Flibster]

Lawson radio - The wheels aren't on mate

That'll be a penalty then.

Yeah. That’s Lawton’s race essentially over, barring a safety car. Time lost on this lap and the 10 million year penalty he’ll get.

Edit: what was that with Lawson? 3.5 second look at the car. Then on his way. Was he imagining things?
Double edit; no, it wasn’t in his mind.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Incident involving Lawson noted - Releasing in unsafe condition

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Haha, Ferrari on plan c…

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc pit radio - So now it's plan C. Plan C.

Leclerc - That is a bit optimistic in my opinion

Ferrari strategy 8 Ball in full effect!

 

[SpartaP]

Great stop for Norris, needed that, Sainz is flying

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Colapinto retirement.
Looked so good for him when he came in, but feel like the F1 dream is slipping away. He deserves a seat.
