Liam Lawson was caught off guard at Max Verstappen's rare spin
during the British Grand Prix, claiming he had never seen "Max spin
a car." Lawson retired on the first lap after being clipped by
Esteban Ocon coming onto the Wellington Straight, and was
conducting his round of interviews with the written media in the
pen just as the safety car came in. Fielding a question about the
potential competitiveness of the package in Belgium and Hungary,
Lawson was caught off guard by Verstappen's spin. "I think so, it
is very close at the moment, and quite often," he began to tell
media, including RacingNews365 , just as Verstappen spun. "I have
never seen that in my life," was Lawson's initial reaction. "I
have never, ever seen Max spin a car, but he saved it, technically,
he saved it." Lawson rounded out his impromptu analysis by adding
that Verstappen "would still probably come through and win",
although he only managed fifth after a strong comeback in the
drying conditions.
