Another double points haul for Visa Cash App Racing Bulls with Kiwi Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad finishing sixth and seventh in the 2026 British Grand Prix. It was a super Sunday at the Silverstone Circuit for the Kiwi who has finished consistently in the points in the last five races, also now scoring points in eight of the ten Grand Prix this season.
“It’s been a good day,” commented Lawson. “Not a very good start but a really good first lap then the car was really, really good. The second half it really came alive so very happy.
“The big test was going to Barcelona and the high-speed balance as we really didn’t have that when we brought this big upgrade to Canada. It’s been really good and just getting better every weekend. There are some tough races coming up but no reason for it to change.”
Ferraris’ Charles Leclerc claimed victory in a dramatic race, with overall F1 points leader Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)dropping backwards due to a car issue in the latter stages while a crash for Max Verstappen (Red Bull) triggered a late-race Safety Car. George Russell (Mercedes) finished second with Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) third.
Lawson sits tenth overall on 39-points just three behind Alpine’s Pierre Gasly while sixth placed (Teams Stadnings) VCARB has cut down the gap to Alpine in fifth to just one-point. With ten Grand Prix completed for the 2026 season, Lawson’s VCARB team is clearly the fifth best on the grid behind Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren.
The Belgium Grand Prix takes place at the Spa-Francochamps Circuit 20 July 2026.
