Liam Lawson branded Franco Colapinto's quick move to avoid crashing into him at the start of the Australian Grand Prix "very impressive."
Lawson's car became bogged down at the start of the season-opening grand prix, and Alpine's Colapinto, who started behind him, was quickly faced with the gearbox of the slow-moving Racing Bull. While the New Zealander admitted he had already braced himself for a crash, Colapinto quickly swerved to the right-hand side of Lawson and wove his car in the narrow gap between him and the wall.
