🗣'I was conscious of [the gap to the car ahead], but the leader was so erratic, going fast and slow, half the gap was not on purpose for that reason.' Red Bull junior Liam Lawson has questioned the penalty he received in Sunday's SUPERFORMULA_En race.
in the early stages, to both make their mandatory pitstops behind the safety car on lap 10 without losing time.However, Lawson feels that at least some of the gap was down to TGM Grand Prix man Oyu intermittently speeding up and slowing down behind the safety car before leading a long train of car into the pits.
"I was conscious of [the gap to the car ahead], but the leader was so erratic, going fast and slow, half the gap was not on purpose for that reason.Lawson also expressed his frustration at Super Formula's pitstop window rules, which dictate that a driver cannot complete the mandatory tyre change until the 10th lap.
"With the way the rules are, if everyone stops behind the safety car, it completely ruins your race if you are the car behind," said Lawson."It’s quite frustrating, especially w"If you’re the second car in line, you’re completely screwed. It’s just the way it is."Lawson qualified fourth for his second Super Formula race, but failed to make up ground at the start, dealing a blow to his chances of beating poleman Nojiri.
"In qualifying, it was my first time with the [knockout] format, so I need to get used to that," Lawson admitted.
