Liam Lawson has detailed where he has found extra confidence as he prepares for his third outing this season with Red Bull.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The New Zealander will continue to stand in for Isack Hadjar for the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, with the latter recovering from a wrist injury.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Madring in Madrid is hosting F1 for the first time, and the tight, high-speed corners are expected to pose a challenge for the drivers.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Having experienced the new track in the simulator only, Lawson insisted it is impossible to guess where it will stack up in the pecking order until after practice.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cMadrid is going to be an interesting weekend for everyone,\u201d Lawson said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve only run the track in the simulator so far, so the first practice session will tell us a lot about where we really stand.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a unique circuit and the banked corner should make things interesting.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Lawson endured a difficult weekend last time out at Monza, as a grid penalty for a new engine demoted him to the back of the field.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
He was only able to climb as far as 14th – his lowest classification of the year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, Lawson insisted he is feeling positive as he pointed to the pace that both he and Red Bull unlocked throughout the event.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cMonza was a challenging weekend from the start with the engine change putting us on the back foot, so it was difficult to fully show what we were capable of,\u201d he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThe positive is that we found some good pace as the weekend progressed, which gives us confidence heading into Madrid.”\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liam Lawson has detailed where he has found extra confidence as he prepares for his third outing this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886185,"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-886184","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\/886184","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=886184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
