Liam Lawson has explained why he maintains his firm attitude that his self-confidence has not been impacted by his Red Bull stint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The New Zealander has consistently maintained throughout 2025 that his self-confidence was not impacted by his brutal Red Bull axing after just two races, and demotion back to Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n
He first scored points in Monaco, and then after a suspension change in Austria, has scored points in three of four races, including back-to-back eighth places in Belgium and Hungary – the first time he had scored points in consecutive races in F1.<\/p>\n
Detailing just why he feels his confidence was not dented, Lawson explained how his focus was actually on continuing to haul points and deliver strong performances.<\/p>\n
“Honestly, it is not something that changes,” Lawson explained when asked by RacingNews365 if his confidence had been building after the recent good results.<\/p>\n
“Because I feel lucky that I’ve only known one thing I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid, and for some reason, even before I was driving, I felt like I could do it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Then I started racing go-karts and thought I could be an F1 driver, and that approach has never changed.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always had that confidence since being a kid, and you have things for sure which can be mentally tough throughout your career, but the confidence has never really changed.<\/p>\n
“Yes, we’ve had a couple of good weekends, and I understand more why these weekends are working and trying to replicate them, but in terms of self-confidence or feeling, it doesn’t really change.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liam Lawson has explained why he maintains his firm attitude that his self-confidence has not been impacted by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19618,"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-93197","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\/93197","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=93197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93197\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
