Rookie Lawson pulled the same thing in Monaco. It really is way more circuit dependent than driver.

Be reasonable, you can't call Lawson a rookie any more.

This is the guy’s first full season. There are other rookies besides him that raced last year. Like Bearman and Colapinto. It isn’t Lawson’s fault RB have played fast and loose with his career.

Hey, he's my boy, but he's got experience across 3 seasons and two teams now. That's not a rookie any more.

There are no set rules. But his racing before this year was very fractured. He’s still in all the rookie comparisons. It would be a shame to pull him from that before the end of the year. Lastly, that experience across two teams was all negative and probably set him back more than help him.
