Liam Lawson

Liam Lawson has taken his full-time Racing Bulls seat in 2026 and made an immediate impression, tenth in the championship with consistent scoring through the opening rounds. The New Zealander’s previous substitute appearances showed genuine pace; his full season is delivering on that promise.

Racing Bulls’ midfield position means Lawson’s ceiling is limited on most weekends, but he is clearly operating above expectations and ahead of more established peers. His racecraft is clean and he rarely wastes the opportunities his car provides.

In betting markets, Lawson is worth considering in points scorer and teammate head-to-head markets. Against Lindblad, his greater experience typically gives him the edge in longer races. When Racing Bulls hit a strong upgrade phase, he is one to watch for surprise top-eight finishes.
