'It’s very different, and it’s a big step up from Formula 2. It feels a lot like driving a Formula 1 car.' Red Bull F1 reserve Liam Lawson had a positive opinion of his first Super Formula test ⬇️
Red Bull junior Liam Lawson says driving a Super Formula car at Suzuka reminded him of Formula 1 machinery, with the Japanese series a"big step up" from Formula 2.Lawson made his Super Formula debut in the opening day of post-season testing on Wednesday, driving the Honda-powered Team Mugen car that was raced this season by Ukyo Sasahara.
"It’s a place I’ve wanted to drive for a long time, since I was a kid. It was a really cool experience to finally drive here. On his performance on the opening day, he added:"In testing it’s always difficult to tell, so I haven’t looked at the times at all really. I’m just trying to get my head around driving this car.
"And the [Yokohama] tyres are obviously very different to the Pirellis I’ve been driving for the last four, five years. It’s my first time in a long time to drive a different tyre and it’s taken a while to get used to, but the tyre feels nice with how reliable it is, and the warm-up.
