Liam Lawson 2026 Formula 1 performance

Overview

During the 2026 Formula 1 season, Liam Lawson has experienced a resurgence while driving for Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. Following a difficult 2025 campaign where he was dropped by Red Bull Racing, Lawson has secured points in eight of the first eleven Grands Prix, including career-best sixth-place finishes in Monaco and Silverstone.

Lawson has attributed this improved consistency to better preparation, increased experience, and a more disciplined routine. He stated his primary objective is to “maximize performance from the car and score points as frequently as possible.”

As the season progresses, Lawson has indicated a shift in his career mindset. He noted that his ambitions are no longer exclusively tied to joining the Red Bull Racing main team, despite his previous brief stint with them in 2025. While he aims to compete at the front of the grid, he is no longer focused on a specific team pathway to achieve that goal. He currently holds ninth place in the drivers' championship.
