Congratulations to Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team drivers Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar on their success in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday. Both scored points for the very important fight for Constructor’s Championship points which sees the team retain sixth position, 29 behind Williams but more importantly now ten ahead of Aston Martin Racing who had drawn even after Saturday’s Sprint Race but failed to score in the GP.
The team went into the Grand Prix weekend three-points ahead of Aston Martin and just 12-points covering four teams fighting for sixth place. Now 20-points cover these four teams with three races remaining in the 2025 season.
“Firstly, congratulations to the whole team today,” commented Team Principal Alan Permane! “It’s been a barren spell for us, so to come back here and qualify so well, to then having both cars in the points is a superb effort.
“We didn’t have the pace of Bearman in the Haas today, but we outscore all our rivals in the Championship and give ourselves a healthier gap to 7th in the constructors championship. It was very close between both Liam and Isack; we split the strategies, and they ended up racing each other, which we trusted them to do, and Liam came out on top with an excellently managed one-stop strategy.”
“I’m super happy with today’s result,” said Lawson. “It was very tough towards the end as we opted for a one stop strategy. The tyres were in good shape at that point, but it’s super sensitive around here. If you push too much in one corner, you pay the price in the next one, therefore tyre management was key.
“On top of that, I was trying to manage energy to make sure I had power down the straights. The strategy worked well for us, so a big congratulations to the team – it’s been a massive effort to have both cars in the points today.”
“We have two weeks until Las Vegas where we head into one of the toughest sequences of the year with the final triple header,” said Permane. “What will be important is preparing well for Vegas but also making sure that everyone gets some time to recover and refresh.”
