Quotes: “Luckily the car was fast enough to go through,” he said post-qualifying. “But compared to ourselves, we went slower every session.
“We lost the balance, we’ll try to fix it. The race car today was okay, hopefully it’s good tomorrow.
“There’s quick guys behind, but we have a good enough car to fight for points.”

Liam Lawson has added a fifth-consecutive Formula One points finish, courtesy of crossing the line eighth in the British Grand Prix sprint race.
However, that result could be stripped after Lawson was summoned to face the stewards for a late incident that saw him allegedly move under braking when defending.

The Kiwi was able to reach the final session of sprint qualifying (SQ3) for just the third time in his career, and continues a streak of starting in the top 10 that dates back to this year’s Canadian Grand Prix.
“The car’s really good, it’s been good all day, we’ve barely changed anything,” Lawson said afterwards.
“We’ll try and get a good start and see what we can get in the first few corners.
“We’re very focussed on quali tomorrow, and the race on Sunday.”

Excerpt: Lawson has quickly settled into his role as leader and accumulated 30 points so far, kicking off his scoring with a pair of P7s in the Sprint and Grand Prix in China before suffering a weekend to forget in Miami. An incident with midfield rival Pierre Gasly ruled him out of the race, marking one of the two rounds in which he has failed to score.
Another seventh place at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was followed by the 24-year-old matching his career-best result of P6 in Monaco, where he praised Racing Bulls for their “big turnaround”. He did admit that “just surviving is giving us points”, but one of the team’s greatest strengths has been capitalising on every opportunity to score.
He’s now on a run of four Grands Prix in the top 10 and hasn’t shown any sign of letting up, even though it’s rarely an easy ask.

Except: “The car’s been good all weekend,” Lawson said post-race. “Compared to last week, we’ve definitely made a step in long-run pace.

“I’m very happy.”

On the eve of the Austrian Grand Prix Lawson was asked about where he was at and if there had been any discussion about his future.

"It's very early days, it has been a very good season so far, obviously a lot to learn with these new cars and we're doing that every weekend and we're in a good place but obviously trying to keep that momentum going," Lawson told F1.

"It's very early days for those kind of conversations but I'm honestly very happy and we all feel in a good place."
"I feel I've learnt a lot over the last 12 months especially. Things are working well at the moment."

Excerpt: “[It was] a solid afternoon overall,” said Lawson. “I missed FP1 this morning, so I had a bit of catching up to do.

“But the car felt like it was in a good place, and that made it pretty easy to get back in the groove.

“There’s still plenty of work to do tomorrow. It’s incredibly close in the midfield, so we’ll need to stay on top of everything and make sure we keep finding those small improvements.”

Consistency was the KPI for Liam Lawson in 2026 and so far he's hitting his mark.
