    Liam Lawson is keeping perspective after cutting his Formula One pre-season testing short at Bahrain

    Liam Lawson is keeping perspective after cutting his Formula One pre-season testing short at Bahrain


    The Racing Bulls driver clocked 50 laps - his best time ranked 13th among the 15 drivers who went for a spin.

    Significant changes have been made to all cars ahead of this season and part of Lawson's session was spent with an aero rack on board collecting data.



    Ferrari's Charles Leclerc posted the fastest lap time.
