25: No Ming Vase Strategy For Red Bull With Lawson After China

James Allen On F1

There’s a famous saying - “In F1, you are either giving pain or taking it.” And after just two rounds of the World Championship there are plenty of examples of that.
We’ll dig into what’s gone wrong for Liam Lawson and why, after just two races, he will no longer be Max Verstappen’s team-mate at Red Bull.
And we’ll look ahead, based at some of the key talking points from China: We’ll get into Oscar Piastri’s complete weekend, Lando Norris’s “will they or won’t they work?” brake dramas. Where do Ferrari go from here after a sprint win and a double disqualification? Why George Russell will keep up the scoreboard pressure on the leaders.. while his rookie team-mate Antonelli proves he is no slouch either.
Why four penalty points don’t make prizes for Jack Doohan.
And we say goodbye to the inimitable Eddie Jordan.
With James in the studio are Motorsport and Autosport F1 correspondents Jake Boxall-Legge and Ronald Vording, who was one of the team in Shanghai that broke the Lawson story.
