GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BERNIE COLLINS, former McLaren F1 strategist, “totally agrees” with Karun Chandhok that Cadillac should pursue Liam Lawson for 2027 if Red Bull drops him from Racing Bulls.
  • Collins highlights Lawson’s value: he scored the majority of Racing Bulls’ 102 points in 2026, outscoring his teammate by double, bringing deep knowledge of Red Bull’s machinery.
  • Collins notes Lawson’s unique asset for Cadillac — firsthand data from both the Racing Bulls RB and the Red Bull car, a development advantage for the American team’s growing project.
  • Collins and Chandhok argue a Lawson-Perez pairing at Cadillac would be a stronger sporting lineup than the commercially motivated Herta option, despite the American driver’s marketing appeal.
