That team breaks younger drivers and number 2s. I want better for Lawson than driving for 3 races and getting shit canned.

A fair point. I suppose the counter argument would be that they are at least cycling through the #2's in order to give them a pop at top-tier racing (Albon, Gasly, Max, Kvyat etc) while there are second seats at teams which are a literal career death sentence like Ferrari (Barrichello and Irvine to Schumacher, Massa to Alonso, arguably Sainz to Leclerc).

I just don't want Lawson "doing a Sam Bird" and being an incredibly talented driver waiting in the wings for a drive that never comes, that would be such a shame.
