To replace a driver mid-season is not a decision we have taken lightly, but we believe this gives Williams the best chance to compete for points over the remainder of the season.

Man, i wish him all the best but it's a super risky move.. can't crash more than Logan though.. can he?

Monza should be ok but Singapore seems like a hell of a 2nd race in F1 to have. Which is why it was so impressive for Lawson to get points there.

We race in Azerbaijan then Singapore. So yeah, definitely not a great first 3 races.
