Racing Bulls

ivanbtofts4d ago

Liam Lawson maybe from New Zealand but He is a Natural Talent I think he's been a scap Goat for Red Bull and yet he did not faulter I'm sure he will be around for some time.A great pick up for any F1 team running in the mid sector. 👍🏻

He was done over by Red Bull and lied to by Renault, Max was brought up to Red Bull senior team in record time, allowed to drive any way he wanted, many times directly impacting Riccardo and point finishes. Ricardo genuinely felt that Renault was the best alternative, but rarely had the car under neath him to make an Impact,

Daniel's career never truly survived leaving Red Bull. That was a mistake. Especially going to Renault for the $$$. But Alpha Tauri was sad, much like when Seb Vettel drove for Aston Martin with very little ambition left in him.

Lawson

Racing Bulls should of been set up as a challenging team and not a training g ground for the next Vestappen, as I believe it's a choke hold on a team that can perform well

fogclimber199886d ago

Red Bull, thanks to Dietrich Mateschitz, helped F1 have two stable teams at a time when that was not always the case. Should we now tell them to sell one part of their organization? They do a great job of bringing young drivers up.

Red Bull should be thanked for buying Racing Bulls and the investment made to running two F1 teams for the past two decades. But F1 today is not the F1 that needed Red Bull to buy Minardi on the back of buying Jaguar.

I really think he can improve his career if he leaves the Red Bull family and is successful somewhere else. The question is: who would hire him?

deathshood160d ago

Where is there for him to go, there is no challenging teams in the mid field who would sign him as he is damaged goods because of helmet and horner the guy is very good on a good day but can struggle on a bad day

kazza193361d ago

Liam has already said if a contract was put in front of him he would sign. Otherwise I think he needs to do what's best for his racing career. Go mighty KIWI.

deathshood160d ago

No don't think Guenther is right especially as Liam has dug in and adapted to his role at RB very well so far

bacchusnz122d ago

Lawson is 3x the points of his team mate and has beaten him in Quali except with damage or a failure. Liam if released will be snapped up and should go outside Red Bull family like Sainz/Ricciardo/Gasly and Alex have done. Guenther is talking about Liam's villain elbows out arch but that is what champions do.

So Steiner hasn't watched any F1 this year? The first incident Lawson has and its a car problem out of his control. No wonder this clown failed as a TP.

You're doing a discredit to yourself using NZ Herald as your source, seeing as NZ Herald don't know anything and that they use AI to write their articles.

This is a silly question due to the experience in the two very different cars. If they both had equal amounts of experience in each car, then Liam would win because the Red Bull is still clearly faster even if a bit more difficult to drive - it's been nowhere near as hard to drive for non-Max drivers compared to past Red Bulls.

Based on the form seen so far in 2026, Max Verstappen in the Racing Bulls VCARB 03 would beat Liam Lawson in the Red Bull RB22 (and you would imagine comfortably, given the RB22's balance problems and the issues that Lawson faced with that problem during his short-lived stint at Red Bull in 2025).

deathshood160d ago

Let's not forget Gasly who also suffered at Red Bull and has had to rebuild his carrier with alpine

deathshood160d ago

Outstanding, considering the way he was so disrespected by Helmet and Horner, and not even given a fair go at Red Bull, Like Daniel Riccardo and Sergio Perez was also dropped and had their f1 careers destryed

pplaurie2804186d ago

I think the young man was very poorly treated at Red Bull and needs a chance with a better team

Although as a team Racing Bulls could do alot more with out Red Bull micro management of them, as I don't understand how Red Bull can make unilateral decisions concerning a separate team. Poaching Racing Bull drivers needs to stop for the team to have any success

fogclimber199886d ago

If they finish the season P5, that will be a great day for the team.

So only Vettel and Gasly have ever won races for this team? Perhaps it would have been better if Gerhard Berger had kept his 50% of the team.

deathshood160d ago

No too many renames that has left them with out a clear identity

fogclimber199886d ago

No! I miss the old Toro Rosso, both the name and the last livery there.

czechfog1836235d ago

I really miss the old Toro Rosso livery from 2019. But they are known to be a driver development team and that is wrong. F1 should not allow that. Sell this outfit to Horner???? LMAO!

Mediocre. About a 5 or 6.

jeffagibson257d ago

Really wish they'd just use the colours from the Red Bull Sugar Free can

czechfog1836235d ago

Hopefully, between 35 and 45 points. If he can avoid crashing the car, that would be good. I expect him to push Lawson in the second half of the season.

And they'd both outscore Mick, cheers Ralfie.

Possibly but he isn’t known for consistency, Liam should have that on him now. If it wasn’t for the start issues both would have got points - looking like a strong car this year.

Liam is a worker, and will keep striving to improve
