Liam Lawson has stated he is in a \u201cbetter place\u201d\u00a0compared to last year amid his strong start to the 2026 campaign.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The New Zealander has scored points at five out of the seven grands prix held so far, lifting himself into the top 10 in the drivers’ standings.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
This time last year, Lawson was still attempting to recover from the disappointing start to the season he had with Red Bull.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A challenging opening two rounds to the season with the Milton Keynes-based squad resulted in his demotion back to Racing Bulls before he was retained for the current season.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The entry has been a competitive one from Racing Bulls, who has hit the ground running as part of the regulation overhaul.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cars are very interesting this year,\u201d Lawson told media including RacingNews365.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re all obviously still getting used to them, learning.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cDevelopment is obviously massive this year. We’re all finding sort of big things most weekends, so we’re all chasing that.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
For Lawson himself, he asserted he is only going to get more rounded as a driver as he continues to add experience to his arsenal.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cOn a personal level \u2013 probably, I think we\u2019re always evolving and learning,\u201d\u00a0he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, the more experience I have, I’m going to get better. And I think compared to last year, I would say I’m in a better place.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s been a bit more consistency this year and that’s been helping.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liam Lawson has stated he is in a \u201cbetter place\u201d\u00a0compared to last year amid his strong start to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":743894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-743893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=743893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/743894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=743893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=743893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=743893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
