Racing Bulls Seal P7–P8 After Hadjar–Lawson Final-Lap Contact

A pit-tool error within split strategies funneled the race into a last-lap duel.

Overview

  • Liam Lawson executed a one-stop strategy to protect track position as Isack Hadjar’s two-stop set up a late charge.
  • Hadjar’s outside move at Turn 1 on the final lap resulted in wheel-to-wheel contact, yet both cars finished without damage.
  • Hadjar conceded he “pushed it a little too much,” while Lawson called it a misjudgement he could respect.
  • Racing Bulls acknowledged a strategy-tool mistake that hurt Hadjar’s first stop and allowed Oliver Bearman to undercut him.
  • The double score moves the team to 82 constructors’ points, extending its buffer over Aston Martin and Haas ahead of the final triple-header.
