On Lawson.
Helmut Marko stated that Max struggled with tire degradation, particularly in the final sector of Albert Park, which impacted his qualifying performance, as they were at Norris' level until Curve 11, then their tires stopped working. This is the exact same thing that Lawson said on the radio after he went off on his push lap.
Max did a purple/purple/yellow on one of push laps from losing the car slightly. This is exactly what happened to Lawson's push lap too. Max never did 3 purples in the whole qualy session.
It is a bad omen for the cursed 2nd Red Bull car. But Lawson was solid on Sundays in his first few races, beating Tsunoda in his first four outings. So lets see what tomorrow brings. Lets see if he can move up the field. Tsunoda is better off at Racing Bulls. Sainz is better off at Willaims probably.
On Antonelli.
I was a bit skeptical but he had a solid FP3 and slotted in just behind Russell. The problem in qualy was, he went off slightly and damaged the bib. It was a strange one because he never went off any worse than the other cars, who had minimal damage. The damage was done and he was out.
