Liam Lawson Comments on Challenges of Driving 2026 Formula 1 Cars

New Zealand driver Liam Lawson is preparing for the 2026 Formula 1 season with Racing Bulls after a challenging 2025, where he raced only two events with Red Bull before being demoted. He described the new 2026 cars, featuring hybrid power units and reduced aerodynamic downforce, as less fun and more challenging to drive, though somewhat more playful. Lawson noted the importance of reliability early in the season and expressed optimism based on lessons learned from last year.
