Liam Lawson has responded to speculations that he could replace the misfiring Daniel Ricciardo.
Lawson deputised for the injured Ricciardo at AlphaTauri to great acclaim last season, but it wasn’t enough to take over the full-time race seat.

“He sat out the first practice, and the second practice was rained out.
“He had presumably expected another struggle.
