Racing Bulls Liam Lawson will start ninth for the 2025 Belgium Grand Prix while teammate Izack Hadjar starts one place ahead in eighth. Both drivers having made it through to Q3 after showing considerable pace in the Q1 and 2 sessions.
”It was a good session for the team having both cars reach Q3, but it’s tough when you see P5 was so close,” commented Lawson. “The speed was building and we were learning throughout the session, but a moment at the end of the lap meant we lost some time, so with such close margins it’s frustrating.
“Regardless of the conditions tomorrow, we need to try and have a clean race while extracting everything out of the car.”
Earlier Hadjar finished eighth and Lawson tenth in the 15-lap Sprint Race won by Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen.
”A good day for us today,” said Guilaume Dezoteux, Head of Vehicle Performance. “The pace in the Sprint race was good, but with everybody on the same tyre, it was extremely difficult to overtake. Nevertheless, Isack scored a point, which rewarded the good work done by the team.
“Qualifying was great with both cars in Q3, which puts us in a strong position for the race tomorrow. The weather may play a big part, with rain expected, but our car has worked really well in the more technical middle sector today giving us confidence for tomorrow and a target to score points with both cars.”
