Lawson said: “We’ve been struggling all weekend with pace. Quali pace has been really bad the whole time, so I focused on basically getting as good a start as I could,”

“I managed to get the lead, but I could see straight away we didn’t have enough pace to stay there. I should have really just stayed behind, but I went to try to pass around the outside.

“Got pulled on to the kerb on the way in, basically sucked me offline completely, then after that I tried to get out if it, but it was too late.”
