By Reese Mautone<\/p>\n

The United States Grand Prix marks one year since Liam Lawson joined the full-time Formula 1 ranks with Racing Bulls, and the Kiwi has set his sights on celebrating the milestone with a return to the points.<\/p>\n

Making a name for himself as the rookie driver to replace Daniel Ricciardo not once, but twice during his time as a sideline character in the Red Bull family, Lawson\u2019s goal of securing a full-time seat in F1 was achieved in the late hours that followed the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The frantic nature of Lawson\u2019s permanent debut set the tone for the year that followed, with his promotion to Red Bull Racing lasting just two races before he found himself back at the development team alongside fellow rookie Isack Hadjar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The #30 described his first year in the sport as \u201ccrazy\u201d, although the 23-year-old admitted he hasn\u2019t quite had time to reflect on the highs and lows of the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to reflect on it, honestly, and I think it\u2019s not something I\u2019ve really had the time to properly reflect on \u2014 maybe I will at the end of the year,\u201d Lawson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, I think the sport moves so fast, to be honest, that you just roll with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think, at this point now, I couldn\u2019t even remember everything that\u2019s happened in detail, I\u2019d have to, like, actually go over it, so, I think, just happy to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kiwi added: \u201cYou can always reflect on a season \u2014 on anything, honestly \u2014 and hindsight\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can look at things, and for sure, there will be a lot that I learn from this year, but I think it\u2019s been, overall\u2026 especially the second half, it\u2019s been quite strong.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we had a tough weekend in Singapore, but, you know, outside of that, across the board, it\u2019s been quite good recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cCars been very fast, we\u2019ve made changes, sort of, midway through the season that helped me get a lot more comfortable as well, so it\u2019s been good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wanting to ring in the milestone in style, the Circuit of The Americas is the perfect destination for Lawson to make a return to the points-finishing positions, with his last top-ten result taking us back to Round 17 in Baku, where the Racing Bulls driver achieved a career-best P5 finish.<\/p>\n

Based on Racing Bulls\u2019 recent USGP history, and with this weekend\u2019s Sprint format providing two separate opportunities to score in Austin, achieving the Kiwi\u2019s self-proclaimed \u201cmain target\u201d looks well within reach.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the Kiwi claimed a standout ninth in the main event, picking up two points in the Grand Prix after making headlines for his tense Sprint tussle with Fernando Alonso just 24 hours prior.<\/p>\n

This weekend, a similar result is in line with RB\u2019s current expectation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [the car will be good around COTA], we think it should be,\u201d Lawson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good here last year, we found some big steps during the weekend last year, and then this year, we\u2019ve just found a lot more, so.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, everyone else has as well, so we don\u2019t know how we stack up, but we think it should suit our car.\u201d<\/p>\n

The #30 added: \u201cWe\u2019re trying to score points this weekend, and that\u2019s what the main target this weekend is.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yeah, that\u2019s what we\u2019re\u2026 It\u2019s very, very close at the moment, so we need to extract everything that we can, but points are the target.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States Grand Prix marks the fourth Sprint weekend of the season, with the top eight finishers set to earn additional points ranging from eight to one in Saturday\u2019s Sprint.<\/p>\n

Adding to the challenge, the FIA has also declared the USGP a Heat Hazard \u2014 only the second since the rule\u2019s Singapore debut \u2014 as temperatures are set to soar up to 34\u00b0C during the Sprint.<\/p>\n

Lawson and his rivals will first complete a single hour of practice around the 5.5km Circuit of The Americas, beginning at 04:30 AEST on Saturday, before the competitive sessions commence on Day 1 in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

\nFormula One, or F1, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing, governed by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\\’Automobile (FIA) and is owned by Liberty Media. The name “Formula One” refers to the set of rules or formula that all cars and drivers must comply with.
\n
\nThe F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held on purpose-built circuits or public roads around the world. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships: one for drivers and one for constructors (teams).
\n
\nThe history of Formula One can be traced back to the pre-war Grand Prix racing, which featured open-wheel cars with supercharged engines. The first World Championship of Drivers was organised by the FIA in 1950, following the end of World War II. The first race was held at Silverstone, England, and was won by Giuseppe Farina, driving an Alfa Romeo. The first constructors\\’ championship was introduced in 1958 and was won by Vanwall.

\nFormula One has seen many changes and innovations over the years, both in terms of technology and regulations. Some of the most notable developments include the introduction of rear-engined cars in the late 1950s, the use of aerodynamic wings in the late 1960s, the adoption of turbocharged engines in the late 1970s, the emergence of electronic driver aids in the late 1980s, the switch to V10 and then V8 engines in the 1990s and 2000s, and the introduction of hybrid power units in 2014.
\n
\nFormula One has also produced some of the greatest drivers and rivalries in the history of motorsport. Some of the most famous names include Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, and Sebastian Vettel. Some of the most intense battles for the championship have been between Fangio and Stirling Moss in the 1950s, Lauda and James Hunt in the 1970s, Senna and Prost in the late 1980s, Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen in the late 1990s, and Hamilton and Vettel in the 2010s.

\nFormula One is widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport, attracting millions of fans and viewers worldwide. The sport is also a huge business, involving billions of dollars in revenue and expenditure. The teams compete for prize money, sponsorship deals, and media rights, while the drivers earn millions of dollars in salaries and endorsements. The sport is also influenced by politics, regulations, and controversies, such as doping scandals, espionage cases, safety issues, and environmental concerns.
