[Saba Sports News] On Saturday at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Liam Lawson found himself at a disadvantage from the start of FP3, having missed most of the practice time due to his crash in FP2. Nevertheless, he pushed too aggressively, ran over the curb, lost rear grip, and crashed heavily again. The team excelled in rebuilding the car, almost getting him back on track in time for qualifying. Despite lacking lap data, he managed to secure P14 in qualifying and moved up two places on the grid due to a penalty for a Williams driver. Liam Lawson said after the session: “The team did an amazing job getting the car ready just before qualifying, I can’t thank them enough. I made it very difficult for myself missing the laps in both practice sessions. In qualifying, though, it looked alright. My lap time on new tyres was actually slower than on used tyres, which is something we need to look into. The car feels quick, but overtaking will be quite difficult next, so I’ll just keep pushing and be fully prepared for the race.”
