    Piastri moving from Alpine to McLaren has to be one of the best sports decisions of all time.

    I don't know how Drugovich doesn't have a seat. The year Lawson was in F1 he dominated it

    And Mclaren paying him relatively little compared to other top drivers also worked out great for them. I assume they must have to pay him the same as Lando at some point.

    Always going to happen with his run of results and a platoon of spare drivers.

    Liam may be safer with only Ayumu Iwasa to beat.

    Why on earth is Briatore still allowed to be anywhere near an F1 team? The guys life is a trail of dodgy behaviour, both in and out of F1.

    Didn't see too much wrong with Doohan honestly, but it's right that Colapinto has a seat somewhere.

    Lots of youngsters around, Lawson needs to work on his discipline otherwise he'll find himself out in the cold with no way back in.

    Hah, the one time Lawson is looking comfortable to go through and he gets fucked when he was probably in the final sector too. Colapinto obviously crashing on purpose to keep Alpine up the ranks.

    @Bones Must be tough being knocked out that way and seeing how well your team mate did. Big shocker for Ferrari. Oscar seems like he is odds on for the championship if he keeps up this consistency.

    Good P2 for Lawson at Monaco

    He finished 5th fastest, the fastest of the 4 red bull cars

    He needs to back it up in quali. Get out of Q1 at least, Q3 would be great

    And qualifies 9th for the race. If he can get away with a good start, and race nice and clean, if his team can do a good job with strategy and pit stops he should be in the points

    @canefan Yes, great result for Lawson but overshadowed by the 5th by his rookie teammate who did very well. Lawson may struggle as he has both Mercedes behind, Tsunoda the Williams etc. It will be interesting to see if the team can get it together for this one.

    His Wikipedia biography is quite the read.

    Its a very difficult track to overtake. Liam's main problem in the previous rounds was his poor quali, which then lead to his team having to make low percentage choices in the hope that he might make a dramatic gain. If he can hold his own at the start that will be half the battle

    In comparison with those models of probity and financial integrity Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley. F1's links to tax fraud, money laundering and organised crime are legendary.

    Solid strategy and an excellent result. He was just behind Ocon in the latter stages, and not far from Hadjar either. That will do wonders for the confidence

    The tactics weren’t great for the spectacle but Lawson did very well.

    He held up the middle of the pack to allow Hadjar to pit in front of them. Continued to hold them up so Hadjar could complete his second mandatory pit and stay in front of Lawson essentially confirming 6th spot for his team mate. After that he had enough pace to complete his two pits without losing positions

    The new track rules didn’t work but RB took advantage of them the best
