Lawson hints at ‘secret’ behind his newfound form at Racing Bulls

Liam Lawson is currently experiencing an upward trajectory with the Racing Bulls team, particularly off the back of the Austrian Grand Prix. The 23-year-old, who endured a challenging start to the 2025 season, has hinted at the reasons behind his newly found form.

Lawson, who started the season with Red Bull Racing, was dropped to Racing Bulls ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. The Kiwi native has, however, picked himself up and continued to score points in his recent run of races. When quizzed by the media, including GPblog, about the reason behind his resurgence, he stated:

“To be honest, nothing huge has changed other than some small things in the car and small things in me that have helped me get comfortable in the car. I think that's been really since Austria that I've felt that comfortable in the car. But the speed's always been there since the start of the season, since we did the switch."

“We just had a lot of small things through that first part of the year, and the consistency wasn't there, and now it is. But also, it's very tough to keep that, so we need to try and focus on maintaining it.”
