In just his third race since making his shock F1 comeback with AlphaTauri, Ricciar🌄do broke his hand in a crash during 💧practice at the Dutch Grand Prix.

The Australian was rule♋d out of the rest of the Zandvoort weekend and AlphaTauri have confirmed that Lawson will continue to drive for the team until Ricciardo is fully fit. 

Lawson had a solid run to 13th place on his F1 debut𒈔 as a last-minute replacemeꦡnt for Ricciardo. 

Asked if Ricciardo should be worried about his ﷽position, Schiff replied: “Of course. Any driver whose seat has been taken by another driver, you’ve got to be worried. 

“I think D♊aniel will be monitoring everything Liam is doing.

“It’s up to Liam now. This♍ is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. 

“Obviously he’s🌳 been prepared to step up into one 🌃of these seats, but for it to come to him in Zandvoort? He’s got to take this opportunity to show exactly what he’s got.”

Martin Brundle believes the timing “couldn’t 🍌💜be worse” for Ricciardo. 

“He [Lawson] did well just to survive the race. He’ll have a better chance here to show his mettle,” he expꦛla⭕ined. 

“It couldn’t be worse ❀timing for Ricciardo, I feel so sorry for him. It’s a nasty break.

“These cars, when you go over kerbs or in Singapore up against a wall, you can’t do that𒆙 with a broken hand.

“It’s Liam’s♒ opportunity to shine. Unfoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrtunately, Daniel will have to watch it unfold from a hospital bed and a rehab area.” 

Sky F1’s pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz added: “Ricciardo has been in contact with Lawson to wis🦄h him well and to give him some tips on how to drive this car.

“Lawson was dropped in the deep end aꦚt Zandvoort. He d🐈id very well and beat Tsunoda in the race.

“He’s highly-rated, Liam. He’s😼 only 21, worked his w🌼ay through F3, DTM, two seasons of F2."
