Lawson Accepts Hadjar’s Apology After Last‑Lap Brazil Clash as Racing Bulls Endorse Hard Racing

The team affirms drivers may race without orders during its push to secure sixth in the constructors’ standings.

Overview

  • On the final lap at Interlagos, Isack Hadjar tried an outside move into Turn 1 and made contact with teammate Liam Lawson while battling for seventh.
  • Lawson finished seventh and Hadjar eighth, securing 10 points that moved Racing Bulls past Aston Martin for sixth in the constructors’ championship.
  • Speaking in Las Vegas, Lawson said Hadjar immediately apologised, and he added that he would have attempted a similar overtake in the same scenario.
  • Lawson explained his one‑stop strategy left him leading a long DRS train, making track position vital and raising the risk of late moves.
  • Hadjar acknowledged the attempt was a mistake and noted there were no team orders, as the result delivered the team’s first double‑points finish since Azerbaijan.
