In 🐟just his third race since making his shock F1 comeback with AlphaTauri, Ricciardo broke his hand in a crash during practiceꦿ at the Dutch Grand Prix.

The Australian was ruled out of the rest of the Zandvoort wee♌kend 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 debut as a last-minute replacement for Ric🀅ciardo. 

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

“I thin🐻k Daniel will be monitorinꦰg everything Liam is doing.

“It’s up to Liam now. This is an opportu🌱nity 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 opp𒅌ortunity to show exactly what he’s got.”

Martin Brun🦂dle believes the timing “couldn’t be worse” for Ricciardo.&ꦗnbsp;

“He [Lawson] did well just to survive the race. He’ll have a better chan♌ce here to show his mettle,” he explained. 

“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 agai💙nst a wall, you can’t do that with a broken hand.

“It’s Liam’s ꦛopportunity to shine. Unfortunately, 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 wish him well and to give him 🍒some tips on how to drive this car.

“Law༒son was dropped in the deep end at Zandvoort. He did very well and beat Tsunoda in the race.

“He’s highly-rated, Liam. He’🔯s only 21, worked his way through F3, DTM, two seasons of F2."
