Ninth place and two championship points at the 2025 Qatar F1 Grand Prix for Visa Cash App Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson has been seen as a real bonus.
“It’s positive to come away from the race with points after where we started,” commented Liam Lawson. “We had really strong pace when we were in clean air, but then spent the majority of the race in traffic”

Up to that point, it was an incredibly strong race, we were in for sixth place and racing well.
“Liam had a very strong race; from 12th to 9th, finishing in the points and showing really good pace throughout the race.”
