Liam Lawson says he was 'amazed' by Team Mugen's efforts to repair his damaged car during the red flag period that followed the multi-car crash on the opening lap of Sunday's Motegi Super Formula race.
Within the time it took for the race to restart, approximately 30 minutes, the #15 crew was able to repair the car and allow Lawson to rejoin at the tail end of the field, although he was given a drive-through penalty for the car being worked on during the stoppage.
"There was a lot of damage, the suspension was broken, the whole rear wing was gone, the rear crash structure was damaged… we had the car running 30 seconds, maybe 20 seconds before the green flag. Koike was also keen to pay tribute to chief mechanic Yuki Yagishita for overseeing the frantic repair work, even if he admitted that Lawson's car was not in perfect condition for the restart.
