The Story in 60 Seconds

Liam Lawson has stated that his primary goal for the remainder of the 2026 Formula 1 season is to score as many points as possible for Racing Bulls, despite facing an uncertain future on the grid for 2027. The New Zealander secured a ninth-place finish at the United States Grand Prix, marking his 14th points-scoring result of the campaign for the team.

Lawson has contributed 63 of Racing Bulls' 102 points this year, in addition to points scored during a substitute stint at Red Bull for the injured Isack Hadjar. However, the team is evaluating Formula 2 contender Nikola Tsolov for a promotion, potentially leaving Lawson without a drive if teammate Arvid Lindblad retains his seat.
