Liam Lawson addresses major change after Red Bull axe

Liam Lawson has addressed a major change since returning to Racing Bulls, following his shock Red Bull axing after just two races. 

The New Zealander swapped seats with Yuki Tsunoda following the Chinese Grand Prix, with Red Bull requiring the latter's experience to improve the RB21.

Since returning to the sister team, Lawson has been given the opposite side of the garage which he had at Red Bull. 

He has also found himself with Tsunoda's engineering team, marking a second feature for the driver to adjust to at the Faenza-based outfit. 

Despite the differences, Lawson has praised the support he has received during his adjustment period. 

"It was definitely different, but at the same time, I guess I've raced in a different team, so switching teams, I felt like I wasn't so focused on what side of the garage I was on," Lawson told select media, including RacingNews365.

"It was more about basically reuniting with the team that I've worked with previously, which is pretty much the same crew, which is quite cool, but obviously a different engineering side. 

"So as a team, we're all working together anyway. It's, obviously, everything's very shared. And to be successful in F1 you need to have both sides of the garage working together, which we definitely do. 

"So I think it hasn't changed too much for me personally, but I think that's also down to the team doing a good job at making everything transition wise, as smooth as possible."
