He can say that, but doesn't make it true.

It's too early to judge , but when we see what's going on . Then we get a very bad feeling...

A bad beginning is half lost (!)

well they need constructor points.

said all along they should have put Sainz in the car.

what were they thinking putting someone who've never driven on most of the F1 tracks in a street car let alone an F1 car that Perez cannot handle, and then making sure he gets no FP time coz the car is in the garage during FP.

Fully expect Mclaren to be on pole tomorrow for GP. That Q3 strat was not it.

Mercedes needs WCC points too. Antonelli operates on a different level than the other rookies. OK, he had a mishap at the Parabolica in Monza during his FP1 debut, but that was it. Keep an eye on him. Quick learner. Super talent.

Lawson, on the other hand, needs to get his act together quickly: if he runs out of talent again a couple of times, RBR will run out of patience. Tsunoda is in the antechamber. F1 is a ruthless dog-eat-dog world.

Ant is quick! He's def the best rookie we have seen since Max and looks promising that he's gotten up to speed (no pun intended) quickly.

why lawson didn't make it out of Q1 (he was 0.4s behind max after the first Q1 run)

Fortunately for him, Max can't handle having a fast teammate. That's the only reason they're not putting a decent driver in the #2 seat.

Red Bull proposed Sainz a one (1)! year contract . But Sainz wanted a 2 year contract with a + 1 year option .
And there were so many financial discussions . Sainz just wanted too much from Red Bull.
All the rest is just the hate from LEW's fans (!)

And BTW...

Sure.

How many WDC teammates has Max ever had again?

See post # 118 .

Yuki the little Japanese is at this moment faster than Sainz .
Yuki is the right man to replace Lawson . Yuki is cheap and very fast (!)
So far , it looks like Lawson is #Checo2 and even worse .

Too bad for Lawson but I'm pretty sure , It's just a matter of time ...

I think everyone is overreacting, we need to let the season play out. Lawson knows more than us his seat is on the line, I'm sure he's has a plan tomorrow. It's just race 2, give it about 3 where we can see more than one or two points and know it's a trend.

What Lawson has to do: keep calm + hands on the dash + resume.

For sure he's doing his best, he doesn't know every inch and skip of the car like Max does and he needs to perfect entry speed for the turns to the hairs breadth like Max does.

If you want to lose the WCC (!)

Lawson's clock is already ticking and the pressure is already piled up...
That will push him in even more rookie mistakes .
HONDA won't he happy if they lose the WCC again, and Yuki is Japanese .
1 + 1 = 2 (!)


A plan tomorrow ?
Right mate . From P20 at the startgrid..
