Melbourne F1 defends Horner Lawson after being “very slow” in exercise

Liam LawsonThe girl Grand Pre weekend with Red Bull left for an unstable start as she closed the second practice session of Friday. Max Verustapane On the same soft tire compound.

“Casual, just very slow,” Lawson said Sky Sports F1. “We have a lot of work to clearly do overnight.”

An obstructed in a FP1 session Oliver bearman Crazing his Has, Lawson was the 16th fastest, while Vastapane was in fifth place, in a second in seventh. Both red bull drivers struggled with lack of grip instead of balance as RB21, despite adequate upgradation, including a new floor, all could not switch to all four tires, especially in the first and final areas.

The Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner was in a hurry to tell that Lawson lacks a specific track experience, as its time in F2 had come to the Championship on the Australian GP support program in 2023. Conversely, on the contrary, by contrast, on the contrary, on the contrary, the contrary.

“Liam, this is a big step,” Horner told Sky Sports F1. “Being a team-mate of Max, perhaps the most difficult task in Formula 1. But he has got the mental ability and strength of the character to deal with it.

“He is not here before, I think he is the only driver on the grid who has not made some laps around this circuit. But he is looking for his feet and giving some very good response, he is settling well. We will see in the next few races.”

Perhaps the most concern for Lawson and Red Bull is that their performance is not immediately clear due to the deficit – as well as the gap probably larger if Verustapen would have managed to achieve a clear lap during their merit simulation.

“I think if we knew that we know how to fix it,” Lawson said.

“The balance was not completely out,” said Vastapane. “No huge or big problem, just catching was not coming alive somehow.

“This means that we are not really there at this time.”
