Liam Lawson details 'quite amazing' Racing Bulls comparison

Liam Lawson has highlighted the “amazing” transformation Racing Bulls has made since the start of the season as the team continues its impressive run of form.

The Red Bull sister outfit has been a regular points scorer this year, with the Miami Grand Prix marking the only race in which it failed to finish inside the top 10.

It currently sits sixth in the constructors' championship, just one point behind Alpine in the tightly contested midfield battle.

Lawson’s own resurgence has mirrored the team’s progress, following a turbulent 2025 campaign that saw him swiftly demoted back to Racing Bulls after his brief spell with Red Bull.

When asked how he has helped push the team forward this year, Lawson told media including RacingNews365: “Honestly, very normal procedures, we do the normal amount of simulator work in the background.

“Maybe we spend a little bit of extra time as well in Faenza, especially earlier in the year. The development this year starts very, very early.

“We started working on this year's car last year, and then in January, we were doing a lot of development.”

With car development being critical for performance this year at the start of a new regulation cycle, Lawson hailed the work undertaken by his team to keep the car as a consistent threat for points.

“From where we started, where our car started in Barcelona, the pre-season test has come a very, very long way,” he said.

“It was quite amazing to drive the race weekend in Barcelona and have a comparison to what we had at the start of the year and how far the car has come.

“So a big credit to the team, but it's a combination of things, and nothing that's super specific.

“Just working on all the procedures to make sure we're prepared, and for me personally, trying to execute as well as I can on a race weekend.”
