We’ll see if Ricciardo really does still have it. I think Lawson was the better option. Yes he’s currently competing in Super Formula but they did it before with Gasly in 2017. It makes more sense to me to try their strongest young driver.
RB almost has to give Lawson the second AT seat next year. He’s their best junior right now and if they can’t find him a seat it’s not going to be great
