Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson believes his team is firmly having its \u201cstrongest\u201d development system since he joined the Formula 1<\/a> team. <\/p>\n

Across the season, the Racing Bulls has delivered stand-out results in the midfield. Lawson, who endured a difficult 2025<\/a>, is now a consistent points scorer, whilst his rookie teammate Arvid Lindblad heads into the summer break on a six-race points streak, showcasing a crucial step forward for the team.<\/p>\n

An effective development programme for the VCARB03 cars has helped to strengthen these results, the Faenza-based squad has consistently extracted performance from its upgrades throughout the season. It is a crucial feat in a season that sees midfield teams locked in an intense development battle.<\/p>\n

Lawson, who debuted for Racing Bulls in 2023, was asked where this season\u2019s development places in his stint with the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the development side, by far the strongest,\u201d he explained to media. <\/p>\n

The Kiwi emphasised that this season everything has clicked into place, allowing the team to gain crucial momentum and bring home consistent results.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, I think everything we\u2019ve been bringing has been working very, very well. And that\u2019s something that is hard in Formula 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, you have upgrades that are run through simulations and theoretically can be better. But they\u2019re not always exactly what they seem.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo for us, it\u2019s been very good, and I think we\u2019ve become very strong at really maximising our package each weekend as well. I think starting a lot closer to our quali setups and having quite an aggressive car, but for us it\u2019s been good to drive. I\u2019ve been very, very happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LiamLinblad and Lawson have enjoyed consistent performances in 2026<\/p>\n

Lawson says consistency is key in F1<\/p>\n

When asked why the team appears to be stronger than its rivals from previous seasons, Lawson pointed to the consistency within the team and factory. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn a Formula 1 team, there\u2019s a lot of people coming in and obviously moving on,\u201d Lawson explained<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just that the team in the background, especially back at the factory, have done a very, very good job.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Racing Bulls\u2019 progress has coincided with several important personnel changes. Most notably, the arrival of former Red Bull aerodynamic chief and Aston Martin technical director Dan Fallows.<\/p>\n

Fallows joined Racing Bulls in April and took up the role of technical director. With many questioning whether he was a factor in the team\u2019s success this season. However, Lawson emphasised that the improvements were not just the result of one person. Rather, it was the combined effort of the entire team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of people that are working behind the scenes,\u201d Lawson explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s something that probably in the first couple of upgrades. The first couple of things that we started making, that they started developing, when they start working, you head in quite a good direction. It\u2019s quite easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see teams even develop something, and you bring something to a race, and it doesn\u2019t work like you think it does, and you have to go three steps back to almost find your way again. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s something that we haven\u2019t had to do this year. Everything we\u2019ve done has been working very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a season where development is pivotal for success, Racing Bulls could find itself in a strong position at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n
