He was rumoured to have signed for Cadillac

Lawson is flying so far, looks to be a good track for the RB.

Although Tsunoda out in Q1...

[Bones]

Fire on the track and yet again Albon has the shittest luck. Gets caught out mid flying lap and now I think it's only used tires left for his final shot.

[Bones]

Sneaks through to Q3, Hadjar doesn't make it.

Lawson on the 3rd row, fastest RB on the track! Verstappen and Piastri got a bit shafted by Gasly having a spin.

Fastest RB driver. Great opportunity to get in the points if he can race clean

Good to see him finally get it right in qualifying. In the last few events he’s been quick in the practise sessions and his race pace looked ok

[antipodean]

Finally it looks like Lawson is driving with confidence in the car and his luck appears to have changed. Previously if something could go wrong for him, it did.

Tsunoda showing that being #2 to Max is a career killer.

Liam finishes in P6 you beauty!

Huge result. Weak start but worked in his favour as Verstappen was taken out.

Held off Alonso for 50 odd laps too as on same strategy. Beat Hadjar too.

Meanwhile, his Red Bull replacement? Dead last.

He’s now looking like solid lower-mid table driver. Awesome for him, if he can keep the team on side he’s on his way now.

What do you do when your Hadjar and Red Bull offer you the Red Bull seat end of year?

Big step forward for Liam Lawson. Hopefully, he'll get a contract with someone decent and committed to him in 2026.

[sparky]

Meanwhile, McLaren are looking pretty unassailable for the constructors' championship and the drivers' championship may well become a showdown between Piastri and Norris.

Huge changes next year, with new engines and completely new cars. If they continue on this design track the second seat will continue to be a graveyard. Of course, if Max leaves...... Red Bull need a hard reset

[MajorRage]

@canefan Russell confirmed he was speaking to Mercedes. So anything is on. Well known Jos Verstappen does not like Horner.

Hard to predict this years movements. My guess, based on nothing is:

Max to Mercedes.
Hamilton out of F1
Russell to Ferrari
Tsunoda to RB
Hadjar to Red Bull
Red Bull 2: rookie.

They've been stuck together a lot this year

Also, Alonso had DRS for most of that and Lawson did not.

[canefan]

AM, Racing Bulls, and Haas are very close performance wise
