Overview

• Liam Lawson says he was naive during his two-race stint at Red Bull, adding he would have approached the China weekend differently had he known it was his last chance.
• Now settled at sister team Racing Bulls, Lawson entered Singapore on the back of a career-best fifth place in Azerbaijan and four top-10s in his last seven starts.
• Lawson hit the wall in FP2 at the Singapore Grand Prix, bringing out a red flag and capping a difficult start to the weekend after a P15 in FP1.
• Lawson says he misses Daniel Ricciardo on the grid and that they remain on good terms, noting Ricciardo’s unexpected exit came at Singapore 2024 and that he has since pursued projects away from F1.
• GPFans notes that since Singapore 2024, three different teammates alongside Max Verstappen have combined for 25 points over 23 race weekends, while rising prospect Isack Hadjar has taken a podium with Racing Bulls and leads Lawson in the standings.
