Liam Lawson’s experience of racing in the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix could be an advantage for this weekend’s Super Formula finale at Suzuka, believes his crew chief.
Red Bull junior Lawson returns to his main commitments in Super Formula after making five grand prix appearances for AlphaTauri in place of an injured Daniel Ricciardo since the previous round of the Japanese series at Motegi in August. Tomo Koike, who oversees Lawson’s side of the Team Mugen garage, feels that the experience gained by the New Zealander at the wheel of an F1 car at Suzuka in particular can only help him in his bid to overturn Ritomo Miyata’s points advantage.
Koike emphasised the importance of Lawson qualifying well, not only due to the bonus points on offer but also in order to avoid a repeat of the situation in the second race of the season at Fuji back in April. There, Lawson was penalised for backing up the pack too much behind the safety car as he sought to avoid losing time as Mugen double-stacked he and Nojiri in the pits. “I am worried about a repeat of Round 2 at Fuji, if the safety car is out on lap 10 ,” said Koike.
