Lawson doesn’t have the right attitude for F1
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez has criticised RB driver Liam Lawson’s attitude after the pair came to blows in Formula 1’s Mexican Grand Prix.
Perez and Lawson, the driver who is aiming to take his Red Bull seat, clashed in Turn 4 when the former attempted to overtake the New Zealander on lap 19.
Perez claimed the left-hand corner by being ahead of the apex and pushed Lawson off, but the 22-year-old kept his foot in and remained alongside for the Turn 5 switchback, with his front-left corner taking a bite out of Perez’s floor edge and sidepod.
The downforce loss from the floor damage further derailed Perez’s home race, with the Mexican having started from the rear due to a botched qualifying session, compounded by a five-second penalty for being outside of his grid slot at the start.
To add insult to injury, Lawson later breezed past him on the straight while giving him the finger, and Perez was incensed by the Kiwi’s attitude in their battles, with Lawson having previously drawn the ire of Fernando Alonso in Austin.
“I had the manoeuvre into Turn 4 and then he was outside the track and just came straight like if there was no car,” Perez said.
“I think he could have avoided the incident but he just went back. Luckily I saw him and I opened the room otherwise it would have been a massive crash. There was no need. We damaged both of our races. It was a little bit too much.

“He’s not getting any penalties as well. He did the same with Fernando, with Franco [Colapinto] in the end. There are no penalties, so none of this is his fault as well.”
When asked how his relationship with Lawson is, he snapped back: ‘I don’t have any relationship with him. I think the way he has come to Formula 1, I don’t think he has the right attitude for it. He needs to be a bit more humble.
“When a two-time world champion was saying things last weekend, he completely ignored him. It’s like when you come to Formula 1, you’re obviously very hungry and so on, but you have to be respectful as well, off track and on track.
“I don’t think he’s showing the right attitude. I think he’s a great driver and I hope for him that he can step back and learn from it.
“In his first two grands prix he has had many incidents. I think there will be a point where it can cost him too much, like it did this weekend.
“I just think that he has to have the right attitude to say: ‘Look, probably I’m overdoing it a little bit, I will step back and start again’. Because if you don’t learn from your mistakes, Formula 1 is a brutal world and he might not continue.”
When Perez was asked if he felt Lawson was racing him harder because of the Red Bull seat that is at stake, he responded: “Well, he nearly crashed with Fernando last weekend, he nearly crashed with Franco. I think he’s just racing everyone out of control at the moment.”

Norris expected Verstappen’s “not very clean driving” in Mexico F1 GP
Lando Norris says he “knew what to expect” after being on the receiving end of “not very clean driving” by Max Verstappen in Formula 1’s Mexican Grand Prix.
One week after the pair fought hard in Austin, a duel for which Norris was penalised for overtaking his title rival off track, Verstappen and Norris again battled in the early stages of the Mexico City race.
Norris attacked Verstappen for second place around the outside of the Turn 4 left-hander, which would yield him the inside for the following switchback.
As at Austin, Norris was pushed off by Verstappen, but because this time the McLaren driver was ahead at the apex it was Verstappen who was penalised. Using the same racing guidelines that had dominated the conversation over the past week, the stewards handed Verstappen a 10-second penalty.
Verstappen then attempted to retaliate at Turn 8 and went off while repassing Norris, sending both cars wide and forcing Norris to take evasive action. The stewards handed the Dutchman another 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
Norris was vocal on the team radio about what he felt was “dangerous driving” by Verstappen and said afterwards he wasn’t surprised by his title rival’s moves.
“I knew what to expect. I didn’t want to expect such a thing because I respect Max a lot as a driver, but I was ready to expect something like this,” he said. “This is not very clean driving, in my opinion, but I avoided it, and it was a good race.
“The first few laps, a lot of it was just trying to stay in the race and avoid any crashes.”

McLaren CEO Zak Brown congratulated the stewards for taking action after the British team had been vocal about Verstappen’s racing style for a while.
“Probably not enough,” he commented about Verstappen’s penalties to Sky Sports F1. “I mean, it’s getting a bit ridiculous. I applaud the FIA stewards, enough’s enough. Let’s just have some good clean racing moving forward.
Asked if he was satisfied with the FIA’s response, he replied: “I think the stewards are on it. That’s clear by the penalties that they assessed. So, I don’t think we need to do anything, just let the stewards do their job. They did a good job this weekend.”
