Liam Lawson remains unfazed after Red Bull switch, focuses on self-improvement

Red Bull were hoping for Yuki Tsunoda to get closer to Max Verstappen after the team made the change to replace Lawson with the Japanese driver. In this light, it seems that Lawson was not the issue, but the RB21 itself.

Moreover, the New Zealander managed to secure his first points this year in Monaco.

With Tsunoda hardly scoring any points so far, Lawson could also feel redeemed he was clearly not at fault during the first two rounds.

However, he told GPblog among others: "At the end of the day, it doesn't really change anything for me as much as I've never really got the chance to show what I was capable of in a Red Bull. It doesn't really change too much."

“If anybody else struggles in that car, it doesn't affect [me], it doesn't change me, it doesn't make it any better for me obviously. So I'm just focused on doing the best job in the car that I'm in, which is what I'm doing at the moment,” says Lawson.

After a penalty got rid of his points after the Miami Sprint, Lawson is now on the scoreboard thanks to finishing in P8 in Monte-Carlo.

"I definitely didn't execute everything perfectly. Honestly there there were weekends this year, I probably even had better weekends in the car, or done a better job, but results don't show you that sometimes in Formula 1. But that's obviously part of the learning process, which we're all chasing every weekend. And it's honestly, all we're focused on as drivers is doing everything we can," he concluded.
