A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Liam Lawson has confirmed Red Bull's woes following the two practice sessions in Melbourne ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, in which neither he nor teammate Max Verstappen managed to make a good impression.
Red Bull too slow in Australia
"I'm comfortable but just too slow. We have a lot of work to do overnight. Day One on a new track we expected to have some work to do but probably not this much. We will work on it overnight and try to improve tomorrow."
It was clear that Red Bull Racing were not comfortable in Australia. As the rest of the world Lawson is also at a lost as to why that is. "Not really. I think if we knew that we’d know how to fix it as well. In general just grip, when we need to use it on that short run, but then in general our long-run pace was slow as well. We’ll obviously work on it," the New Zealander concluded.
