Christian Horner said post-race that he would not answer questions about replacing Lawson as that would be the focus of the main headlines whatever was his answer. Lawson has been out in Q1 for each of the three initial qualifying rounds so far this season, but surely it’s too early to consider replacing him? My hunch is the car is heavily optimized for Max, and so others struggle. The setup changes Red Bull made after writing off the start of the race in China will hopefully mean they get useful signal about what works for Lawson. The upside of all of this though is a healthy battle in the constructors championship.
