Liam Lawson has revealed an aspect of the Monaco Grand Prix he struggled with despite Racing Bulls executing its pre-race plan “perfectly” en route to a double points-scoring finish.
“Liam Lawson found it challenging to maintain focus during the Monaco Grand Prix, as the two-stop strategy mandated by F1 made it more difficult than anticipated.
For the first time ever, drivers in the prestigious race had to pit twice in an attempt to enhance the excitement on the Monte Carlo track.
Unfortunately, this new rule led to some teams resorting to questionable tactics, such as driving slowly to help teammates complete their pit stops ahead of them.
Despite these challenges, Red Bull Racing managed to execute their team plan flawlessly, allowing Isack Hadjar to secure sixth place and Lawson to finish in eighth, earning his first points of the season.
In a post-race interview, Lawson acknowledged the mental strain of driving slower than usual but understood the strategic reasoning behind the team’s decisions.
Overall, while the race presented unexpected difficulties, it also showcased the importance of meticulous planning and flawless execution in Formula 1 events.”
