Liam Lawson dismissed the notion that his Racing Bulls car is the easiest on the grid this season, despite his notable performance in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix where he finished fifth after an impressive qualifying session.
Having faced challenges at the start of his return to Racing Bulls, Lawson has shown improvement by scoring points in four of the last seven races, highlighting the competitiveness of the VCARB 02 car.
