Liam Lawson’s Chinese GP Sprint Qualifying Struggle: A Tale of Overheated Tyres

SHANGHAI, CHINA - MARCH 21: Liam Lawson of New Zealand and Oracle Red Bull Racing looks on in the garage during Sprint Qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of China at Shanghai International Circuit on March 21, 2025 in Shanghai, China.

New Zealand’s Formula 1 racer, Liam Lawson, attributes his disappointing finish in the Chinese Grand Prix’s sprint qualifying round to an inability to adequately cool his tyres. This situation resulted in a less than stellar performance on his final flying lap, leaving him at the bottom of the Formula 1 pack.

During the event’s initial runs, Lawson had exhibited commendable performance, securing the 10th spot with a 1m32.729s record. However, his second attempt was less successful. His run had to be aborted and subsequently erased due to an error at Turn 9 where he went off-course.

Lawson’s performance is a stark reminder of the critical role tyres play in the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing. The condition of a car’s tyres can make or break a driver’s performance on any given day. A racer’s ability to manage tyre temperatures can significantly influence the car’s grip on the track, which in turn impacts the vehicle’s speed and maneuverability.

In the case of Lawson, his inability to cool his tyres adequately led to his vehicle running wide at Turn 9 – a deviation that cost him his second run. This situation puts a spotlight on the technical challenges drivers face during Grand Prix events. It’s not just about speed and driving skills; it’s equally about managing the complex machinery that comprises a Formula 1 car.

This incident highlights the intense competition and the minute details that make a significant difference in Formula 1 racing outcomes. Every component of the car, including the tyres, need to be in perfect condition to ensure a competitive performance.

Lawson’s experience at the Chinese Grand Prix offers a valuable lesson for all Formula 1 racers: mastering the art of tyre cooling could be the difference between standing on the podium or being at the tail end of the pack. While Lawson’s performance was not as expected, it serves as a reminder that every element counts when it comes to the high-speed, precision-driven world of Formula 1.
