In a season filled with twists and turns, Liam Lawson’s return to Racing Bulls has been anything but smooth sailing. Despite showing glimpses of promise, the 22-year-old driver finds himself among the few yet to secure a single championship point after six races in the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Following a turbulent stint at Red Bull that led to his demotion, Lawson’s reunion with Racing Bulls has been plagued by a series of setbacks including technical issues, race incidents, and sheer misfortune. From crashing out on the first lap of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix to grappling with speed but lacking results, Lawson’s journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
While all eyes are on the impressive rookie Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls, Lawson’s performance, though overshadowed, is not as bleak as it seems. Despite being outshone by Hadjar in points and qualifying sessions, technical glitches have played a role in narrowing the gap between the two drivers. Lawson’s resilience and determination shine through as he navigates the challenges thrown his way, vowing to reset and strive for improvement.
As the midfield battle intensifies and the pressure mounts, Lawson’s window to make his mark on the 2025 F1 season is narrowing. However, amidst the struggles and setbacks lies a glimmer of hope for Lawson to turn the tide and showcase his true potential on the racetrack.
