Okay glad it's checover. Cost the team definitely one WCC during his tenure.

Now, all Lawson needs to do is do better than finishing where Perez was and that's already a substantial upgrade.

Once you are in top team, there is pressure to perform. Also considering Lawson to be a rookie or with less than 1 year experience and over that being Max teammate, the pressure is insane. you require matured driver for that seat.
Expecting lot of crashes and divebombs..

Max is only 27 years old and he will be RBR no. 1 driver for as long as RBR can keep him.
And I think RBR is not actively seeking to find a driver to replace Max at the moment, but a reliable 2nd driver to compliment and support Max and RBR to win races and championship.

Lawson is only 22, he still has got a bright future ahead so it may not be a good thing to play 2nd fiddle at such a young age because over time he and F1 fans will get use to him finishing 2nd, just like Bottas in Merc.

There's only pressure if you want to beat Max. Easier said than done of course. All these guys want to win.

Perez's entire downward spiral started at least as far as I am concerned at Miami last year after that defeat. Sure it may happen to others but if the next driver thinks he'll just walk in and beat Max, it would not likely end well. Or maybe he will keep Max honest and that's still great for the team.

In the end, either you are cut out for a top seat or you are not. Maybe neither of them are. We will know next year.

I am pretty sure Nico Rosberg said something along those lines racing again Lewis. So much natural talent when you find a little weakness/somewhere where you are better than him then he goes to work to fix that weakness in his driving. Something you worked so hard at doing at it seems like its so effortless for him to fix the weakness takes a big mental tole.
