Lawson scored his second win in the Japanese single-seater series in four starts in Sunday’s race at Autopolis, vaulting himself into the championship lead.
Despite being touted as a possible replacement should Red Bull opt to dispense with de Vries, Lawson insists that his main objective is to claim the Super Formula title and put himself in a strong position to land a seat with AlphaTauri in 2024. “In terms of what’s happening [in F1]... it’s completely outside of my control. I am just happy to win today.”Lawson came through to take the victory ahead of TOM’S driver Miyata and polesitter Sho Tsuboi despite dropping from second on the grid to third after a tough start.
“We knew we had a fast race car but we needed clean air. We boxed early and caught traffic, so I had to try and pass as quickly as I could without losing time, because I knew these two [Miyata, Tsuboi] would go longer in the race,” he recalled.
