Profile
Liam Lawson took the long road: super-sub appearances, a bruising early-2025 stint at Red Bull Racing, then a rebuild at Racing Bulls where his toughness and speed made him the team's reference point.
Driving style
Combative wheel-to-wheel racer, strong in traffic and on restarts; at his best when a weekend goes chaotic.
