Jason Pine: Sportstalk host on Liam Lawson placing 17th in Japanese Grand Prix - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

He has come 17th in Formula One’s Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.

Lawson was eighth at the time of his only pit stop, but the decision to change to soft tyres with 19 laps to go didn’t yield the projected return.

Sportstalk host Jason Pine explains further.
