Did Lawson just try to call time on Checo's career?

[@GeeTeeNZ]

A fair & balanced report on Liam - God that's annoying. 😆 Well done Kimmy!

Mexican here. Watching the race I thought Checo's move was a little too optimistic, to say the least, and actually thought he got a penalty coming. Then immediately when carbon fiber bits flew around I knew his race was over, If he has trouble driving the RB20 when its whole, you can predict how bad it's gonna be with half of the floor edge missing. I defended Liam there, but every driver knows where their fight is. Checo has been all over the place this season, but in this race probably he would have finished P10, and if Liam and Vcarb followed close enough and mimic his strategy they could have made more progress.

It actually hurts seeing checo not doing well especially at his home race.

[@KimmyCaulton]

Have to agree with you there, Max. It's always a bit of a miserable watch when you're seeing someone circulate with little point at their home GP, and as much as I'm critical of him I do genuinely like Checo and have been rooting for him to pick up his form 😔

[@inktrooper.]

@@Max_Flashheart It's been a hard couple of seasons.

[@Max_Flashheart]

@@inktrooper. I agree and I wish he changed teams for a car that was better for him and not go out like this

[@Matt04108]

Red Bull need a fighter like Max in Lawson, not a has been like Perez. Red Bull can take the blame for Yuki, Perez and Lawson caring more about outdoing each other, than those that they aren't competing with directly for the Red Bull seat. In the last 14 races, Perez has finished 6th once, with all his other performances even worse than that. Perez cost himself in this race, first not getting out of Q1, then not placing his car in the starting box correctly. Yuki has been equally abysmal the last 2 races - crashing out twice, with one of the crashes costing Lawson his rightful place in Q3, and a spin and a 5 second penalty. Lawson knows the rules and works within them, while his extended team mates do stupid stuff.

[@Max_Flashheart]

The minister of defense was defended too hard lol Checo was never going to score points the way he was driving. Checo did it to himself. Drive to survive is loving all of this.

[@KimmyCaulton]

I disagree, before Lawson and Colopinto collided, Lawson was running in 12th and was in Stroll's DRS at points, who was 10-12ish seconds behind Gasly. Considering Red Bull's strategy is far superior to VCARB's and they both started on the Hard tire, I can see Checo at least managing to get up to 10th if they found him some clear air after his pit stop. Probably no better than that LBH highly doubtful he would have caught Hulkenberg and no, it's still not good enough thanks to the qualifying disaster but at least it's not last on the road 😂

[@Max_Flashheart]

@@KimmyCaulton I mean fair but checo was driving everyone off the road like Liam and stroll. But why didn't Perez use his race pace to pass on the straights cleanly? He was driving mad and that never ends well for him.

[@FarFarAway1994]

​@Max_Flashheart if he could chill the **** out he would have got tenth even just by getting the undercut on lawson but yeah dude was totally going to get into something worse the way he was throwing the desperate lunges. I agree with kimmy though lawson didn't do himself ANY favors with Red Bull at all

[@Max_Flashheart]

@@FarFarAway1994 fair point
