Liam Lawson's Formula 1 practice session in Barcelona was wiped out due to a broken gearbox.
## What happened?
The issue is the latest in a string of reliability problems for Racing Bulls.
Lawson's battery failed to fire off the startline in Melbourne, and a hydraulic leak in Canada ruined his first day.
Teammate Arvid Lindblad also struggled, missing the start in Canada after his opening day in China was impacted.
