New Zealand’s rising Formula 1 star Liam Lawson is determined to drive the Racing Bulls team toward renewed success following a difficult start to the current season. After experiencing setbacks in the early races, Lawson aims to capitalize on recent improvements as the championship progresses.
Progress After Returning to Racing Bulls Team
Initially promoted to the lead Red Bull squad, Lawson was moved back to the sister Racing Bulls team in Faenza after an underwhelming beginning. Since this transition, he has demonstrated significant progress, highlighted by achieving a personal best sixth place at the Austrian Grand Prix. His return to the Racing Bulls stable has reignited hopes for a positive turnaround.
Reflecting on a Turbulent First Half of the Year
Lawson has openly acknowledged the chaotic nature of the opening months of the season, describing it as an intense and fast-moving experience.
It’s been busy, it’s been a whirlwind, I would say, especially at the start of the year.

Despite the initial difficulties, Lawson believes that the team’s current stability offers a solid foundation for improvement during the remaining races.
Building on Recent Consistent Performances
With two top-ten finishes in the last three events, Lawson is focused on maintaining this upward momentum. He emphasized that the raw speed has largely been present throughout the year but translating that pace into regular point-scoring results remains essential.
In general, the speed has been there most of the year, and it’s nice that we’re able to finally get a couple of good results,
he remarked. Lawson stressed that relying on a handful of strong races is not enough to ensure success.
Goals and Outlook for the Remaining Races
Looking ahead, Lawson is committed to replicating and building upon recent achievements to secure consistent performances through the rest of the season.
Going forward into the second half of the year, we’re trying to replicate this more,
he stated. Acknowledging the fierce competition within Formula 1, Lawson also pointed to the critical role of meticulous attention to detail and weekend-by-weekend optimization to maximize results.
What This Means for Lawson and Racing Bulls
As the season unfolds, all focus will be on Liam Lawson and the Racing Bulls squad as they strive to climb the fiercely contested ranks. Their resurgence could not only boost Lawson’s career prospects but also strengthen the team‘s position within the championship. The coming races will be crucial in determining whether this promising comeback can translate into sustained success.
