Liam Lawson has now completed four Grands Prix after his return to Racing Bulls, but is still yet to score points in 2025. The New Zealander believes it all needs to 'click' to get on the scoresheet for the first time.

Lawson had to retire from the Miami GP, after the damage he got from making contact with Jack Doohan immediately into Turn 1. While he was unable to share a verdict on the incident when talking to GPblog among others in the paddock, he explained it compromised his race.

"It (the damage) was pretty horrendous. It's a shame for the guys, they've done a good job this weekend, the car's been fast."

'Shocking' results since driver swap, marks Lawson

Rating his performance since he was replaced by Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull Racing, he said: "Most of them have been pretty shocking. So I think comfort-wise I feel really good in the car. Speed's been pretty good most places, just unfortunately no results to show for it."

He explained that is because he is one of three drivers who are yet to score points this season. He finished inside the Top 8 during the Sprint, however, that was taken away after receiving a five-second penalty by the stewards for causing a collision, as he made contact with Fernando Alonso on Saturday.

"We have no points. Obviously Formula 1 is a lot of variables in our sport and to put a full race together could be quite tough and the speed's been there for most of it, unfortunately it hasn't worked out for us so far."

Looking ahead to the upcoming European tripleheader, he added: "Reset like always, it's how we have to be in the sport, to keep working forward, keep improving things and I don't think anything really changes, I think our approach to the weekend's been really really good. As I said the car was fast this weekend so it'll click eventually."
