Lawson: Tanulságos futam volt, örülök, hogy célba értem
Liam Lawson, who was substituting for Daniel Ricciardo, finished in 13th place in Zandvoort – starting from the second-to-last grid position, we were able to see a nice debut from the young New Zealander. Lawson stated that his primary goal was to finish the race, but the conditions made it quite difficult. After the checkered flag, he commented: „It was good, a lot happened. When I was heading towards the starting grid and saw that it started to rain, I wasn’t particularly happy about it, but it wasn’t a bad race for us. We lost a lot of time with the pit stop in the beginning of the race, but we had no other choice but to come out.” „Then we also received a penalty, so we lost a lot of time,” Lawson said. He received a ten-second penalty due to an incident in the pit lane: AlphaTauri called out both of their drivers for tire changes at the same time, but due to the traffic, they couldn’t release Tsunoda in time, who was ahead of Lawson. As a result, the rookie blocked the path in front of the Haas of Magnussen, who had already finished his pit stop. „The second half of the race was better, and the intermediate tires worked decently at the end. I’m glad I survived.” „I am happy that I could put the race together, but there is still work to be done. I hope I will have more opportunities to drive and use what I have learned today. Today, my number one goal was to complete the 72 laps, which was a good performance considering the conditions.” Will we see him in Monza as well? It’s a big question when we will see the injured Ricciardo racing again – according to Christian Horner, the Australian would return in Singapore, but complete rehabilitation is more important. Since Lawson has not been officially announced for next week’s Grand Prix, when asked if he is waiting for a call from Helmut Marko, he replied: „Yes, that’s exactly what is happening.” You can find the summary of the race at this link!
