Parece que Red Bull reemplazará a Liam Lawson por Yuki Tsunoda a partir del GP de Japón. Pero si el carro está construido especialmente para Max, creo que es mal negocio el de Yuki. Lo cierto es que Lawson habló mucho e hizo poco.

Not the biggest issue but shouldn’t Lawson have finished ahead of Doohan because of the 10 second penalty?? He was 2.8 seconds behind Hadjar, who was less than a second ahead of Doohan #F1
