Obviously the results have been better this year and so that’s going to make you feel in a good place,” he said. Lawson’s position represents a significant change from the uncertainty Racing Bulls faced when F1 introduced its new technical regulations at the start of the year. Lawson scored his first points in China with seventh place in both the sprint and grand prix before Racing Bulls established itself near the front of the midfield. The result moved Racing Bulls into fifth in the constructors’ championship, five points clear of Alpine, after its fifth double points finish across six rounds. Lawson said he believed his similar feedback to Lindblad has also helped Racing Bulls maintain a clear direction with the car.
