Red Bull junior LiamLawson30 feels 'in the mix' after SFormula testing concludes at Suzuka, but admits he faces an uphill task for the opening round:
Reflecting on his two days of running, Lawson said that he is feeling increasingly comfortable and competitive in his new environment after two seasons of racing in Formula 2.
“We tried a lot of stuff, we did some long runs and we have a better understanding now of the new tyre, and the final attack lap was quite good at the end. Lawson however concedes that he will be at a disadvantage for the opening weekend at Fuji on April 8-9 as he will have no chance to drive at the track before the first free practice session of the weekend.
“The team has a lot of data to look at and come up with the best baseline set-up going into Fuji. But i“It's good that there's two rounds, because I'll be more comfortable on Sunday. The target will be to really capitalise on Sunday's race rather than Saturday's.”Lawson shared a track with his two-time champion Tomoki Nojiri for the first time in this week's test, as Nojiri sat out the previous test at Suzuka last December.
