Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane has stated that Liam Lawson must \u201celiminate\u201d minor mistakes from his performances.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Lawson has enjoyed a positive start to the new F1 campaign, scoring points in two of the opening four rounds.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It marks a much smoother start for the New Zealander compared to 12 months ago, when he was demoted by Red Bull after the opening two events of the season.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Permane stated that the additional time Lawson spent with Racing Bulls during pre-season has undoubtedly contributed to his strong start.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s helped just be part of the team from the start, because obviously you can\u2019t compare it to last year,\u201d Permane told media including RacingNews365.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can’t compare doing one and a half days of testing, starting from the pit lane for two races and then having to change teams. It can’t be any worse than that.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI said it many times, and I say again with Liam, I see immense talent there. Some of his performances last year were outstanding.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, Permane has identified one area in Lawson’s etiquette that needs modifying.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat he needs to do, and what he is doing so far, is eliminate mistakes,\u201d\u00a0he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t be qualifying third on the grid one weekend and then out in Q1 the following weekend, that sort of thing.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
He knows that. And he\u2019s working hard to ensure that doesn\u2019t happen.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if he doesn\u2019t improve his top level, if he just eliminates the bad level and lifts everything up to what we know he\u2019s capable of, that will already be a fantastic step. And that\u2019s the next thing to build.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019d much rather he works on\u2026 not worked on the absolute pace, because I think that\u2019s there \u2013 it\u2019s working on the consistency, which he\u2019s doing.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane has stated that Liam Lawson must \u201celiminate\u201d minor mistakes from his performances.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[3518,3521,3519,3522,3520,3517,3515,3513,3516,3514,111,139,69,3512,213],"class_list":["post-432310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","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-motorsport","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
