The first day back at the office after a holiday can often be a shock to the system. And that’s how it was for Liam Lawson when he landed in the UK on Monday expecting the usual pre-race simulation routine for Racing Bulls.
After Lawson switched his phone on he received a call from team principal Alan Permane telling him there would be a change of plan: Isack Hadjar had injured his wrist, and Lawson would be standing in for him at the Dutch GP this weekend. Lawson’s team-mate Arvid Lindblad was brought up to speed the following day while Yuki Tsunoda was summoned from the beach to fill in for Lawson at Racing Bulls.
