Liam Lawson’s Bold Statements Shake Up F1 World Amid FIA Rule Change Drama
In a shocking revelation after the first day of F1 action in Spain, Liam Lawson from Racing Bulls has ignited a firestorm by declaring that the team is now “chasing” the elusive car balance following the enforcement of new flexi-wing regulations by the FIA. The governing body’s crackdown on front wing flexibility at high speeds in Barcelona has sent shockwaves through the paddock, with teams scrambling to adapt to the new rules after months of preparation.
While other drivers chose to remain tight-lipped about the impact of the rule changes, Lawson fearlessly spoke out, emphasizing the significant difference in how the car now feels on the track. “There’s definitely a difference, you can feel the difference,” Lawson stated. “For every team, it is different. For us, our car is in a good place right now – but we expect everybody to keep improving.”
Racing Bulls, coming off a strong double-point scoring performance in Monaco, are now heading into the Spanish Grand Prix with Lawson finishing FP2 in 10th place, just behind teammate Isack Hadjar. Despite this, Lawson remains optimistic, hailing the team’s impressive start to the weekend. “I think it’s positive, it’s a good start to the weekend,” he remarked. “It’s a good base to build on. [Saturday] is really what counts, tomorrow afternoon. We’ll obviously keep working on improving the car. Everybody is chasing it.”
Lawson’s candid remarks have sent shockwaves through the F1 community, with fans and experts alike eagerly anticipating how Racing Bulls will navigate the challenges posed by the new regulations. As the team continues to fine-tune their car for optimal performance, all eyes will be on the Spanish Grand Prix to see if Lawson’s bold statements will translate into on-track success.
