Liam Lawson Reveals Red Bull Truth After Shocking Super-Sub Appearances
Highlights
- Liam Lawson substituted for injured Isack Hadjar in three 2026 GPs
- Lawson scored points twice, best finish seventh at Dutch Grand Prix
- Hadjar returned for Azerbaijan GP and confirmed as 2027 teammate
- Lawson clarified his role won’t affect Red Bull driver lineup
- Red Bull ranked fourth at Dutch GP during Lawson’s race stint
Liam Lawson steps into Red Bull for three 2026 grands prix, covering for injured Isack Hadjar at Zandvoort, Monza, and Barcelona.
He states the cameo does not shift Red Bull’s driver hierarchy, despite scoring twice, including seventh at Zandvoort and sixth in Spain.
Zandvoort also offers a useful benchmark, with Red Bull ranking fourth among teams during Lawson’s race stint, underlining a solid but not dominant weekend.
Hadjar returns for Azerbaijan and is later confirmed as Max Verstappen’s teammate for 2027, reinforcing the team’s preference for continuity once fitness is restored.
Lawson explains he is not scheduled for a 2026 race seat and targets opportunities within Red Bull’s broader driver ecosystem.
Lawson stepped in for Hadjar across three 2026 rounds: Dutch, Italian, and Spanish Grands Prix.
On track, his laps show tidy execution, reliable tyre management, and composure under pressure, the core attributes required to convert midfield chances into points.
Nevertheless, the cameo does not materially reset the pecking order inside Red Bull’s driver program, where timing, strategy, and long‑term planning often trump short‑term form.
Red Bull ranked fourth at Zandvoort during Lawson’s race stint, a solid but unspectacular return.
Lawson now focuses on building a stronger case through 2026, with races such as Bahrain and Malaysia offering further reference points if opportunities arise.
Any future opening likely depends on results, programme needs, and how he integrates within the Racing Bulls structure alongside the senior Red Bull team.
Hadjar is confirmed alongside Verstappen for 2027, closing the immediate door at Red Bull.
