Liam Lawson prepared for ‘shock’ as rain causes ‘confusing’ Las Vegas challenge
Ahead of this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, Liam Lawson expressed that light rainfall during second practice caused confusion, expecting a repeat of the shocking conditions from a year ago. The light rain made the track incredibly slippery, despite leaving no visible water on the surface. Two red flags in the final 20 minutes disrupted data collection, leaving teams blind entering final practice on Friday evening. Lawson noted that Racing Bulls might not be as strong as indicated by the timesheets, as he and Isack Hadjar finished FP2 in fifth and sixth places, respectively. Despite the challenges, Lawson saw improvements throughout the day and looks forward to continuing to develop the car in the upcoming sessions. He emphasized the tight competition and remains optimistic for the team’s performance in the following day’s session.
