Liam Lawson delivers ‘pretty fast’ combo verdict on Red Bull and Racing Bulls

Liam Lawson stated that combining the strengths of the Red Bull RB22 and the Racing Bulls VCARB03 would create an exceptionally fast race car. The New Zealander drove both machines after stepping in for an injured Isack Hadjar for three races before returning to his seat at Racing Bulls. Lawson noted that despite sharing the same Red Bull-Ford power unit, the two cars feel completely different to drive.

Speaking ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, Lawson explained that each car has clear strengths and weaknesses, requiring an adjustment when switching cockpits. Looking to the upcoming weekend at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, where he secured his first career Formula 1 points in 2023, Lawson expressed optimism that Racing Bulls can capitalize on their recent strong early-weekend pace during the sprint event.
