Liam Lawson

So yeah, I spoke to him a lot through all of it and he was, he was very, yeah, he was very good to talk to about it.

Um,

I mean, the main thing is like all this stuff was happening and there was nothing I could do about it once it had happened.

So I was obviously frustrated, devastated at the time, but there was nothing I could do about it anymore.

And so it's a very normal thing to say, but it's just focus on the things that you can control and like breaking that stuff down and going, okay, look, it's all done.

You're still in Formula One.

And that's the thing I think I thought about a lot was

There's a lot of guys that got badly treated and unfairly treated in Formula One and were out.

Over the years, there's many cases where guys, you'd argue that wasn't fair.

jack doing you know somebody who did five races that is not fair to judge somebody i had two in a red bull but even five races as a whole is not fair to judge somebody in formula one um again in a season like last year but i still had a drive so that was what i tried to really focus on and that's what we talked about a lot you know you still have an opportunity to prove yourself here you still have an opportunity to build a future in formula one that's all still there

without focusing on the fact that I lost the dream drive that I wanted since I was young.

That's crazy.

That, that was, yeah, that's exactly right.

The whole thing was played out to be me being mentally struggling and all this stuff.

And like they were doing it to protect me.

And that honestly just could not be further from what it was actually like.

So yeah, it's again at the time, like those two weekends, I remember, I remember, uh,

there was a lot, there was already talk about, okay, you know, he's, it's, it's a hard time for him.

He must be struggling mentally and stuff like this.

So, and I thought rather than me getting out there and saying, I'm totally fine, you know, and, and argue against it, I was like, you know, let me take my responsibility here and say, I can do a better job, which is what I tried to do on those two weekends.
