Liam Lawson, the reserve driver for Red Bull's junior team, has had a disappointing start to the season, being out-qualified and out-scored by his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. His hopes of bouncing back in Japan were dashed when he crashed on the opening lap.

As the TV cameras in Japan panned to Liam Lawson standing behind Daniel Ricciardo during the red flag the Aussie caused when he crashed, Tom Coronel reckons the reserve driver must’ve been thinking “yes, yes!”

Out-qualified by Tsunoda 4-0 and out-scored 7-0, Ricciardo’s hopes of bouncing back in Japan were undone when he crashed on the opening lap. He urged Red Bull to drop Ricciardo, saying the 34-year-old has had his time and Lawson now deserves the opportunity.Even before his lap 1 crash, Ricciardo found himself second best to Tsunoda in qualifying where the Japanese driver was the one to keep him out of the Q3 shoot-out.“The start mainly showed Daniel Ricciardo’s lack of self-confidence. The Australian relies on his self-confidence, but is now suffering from the fact that Yuki Tsunoda is regularly underestimated,” he said.
