Despite the challenging wet conditions, Lawson capitalised on his strategy to secure a seventh-place finish, marking himself as the 'best of the rest' alongside Fernando Alonso. Reflecting on his race, Lawson expressed pride in his team's decisions regarding tyre choices and acknowledged the luck that helped him improve from a previous P12 finish in Baku. He noted that while he was pleased with his start, he wished he had defended more vigorously against fellow Australian Oscar Piastri during the race.PlanetF1Sun 4 OctWas it 'unfair' not to penalise stricken F1 cars in Malaysia?Fernando Alonso expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision to allow stricken cars to start the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, citing that it was unfair as they had not stopped the race for his own car when it faced issues. Alonso highlighted that the chaos at the start was due to a software bug affecting multiple cars, including Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari, and he felt that the race should have been stopped for those cars that were unable to compete. Despite finishing eighth, Alonso's frustration stemmed from the fact that he had experienced numerous retirements this season due to his team's reliability issues, unlike the software glitch affecting others. The FIA later clarified the situation, and Aston Martin's chief trackside officer Mike Krack and Mercedes' deputy team boss Bradley Lord both acknowledged the complexity of the situation, ultimately supporting the FIA's decision to reset the race order.the-race.comSun 4 OctLiam Lawson faced alarming obstacle in Sepang confusion: 'Most alone I've ever felt'Liam Lawson faced significant challenges during the Bahrain Grand Prix, where he finished in seventh place.

Despite not being directly affected by the power loss, Lawson struggled with uncertainty about race procedures and whether he was allowed to overtake. He ultimately managed to restore his radio by following instructions displayed on his pit board, but the experience left him feeling isolated and confused amidst the chaos.RacingNews365Sun 4 OctUntitled story
