Liam Lawson has a big discovery about his Racing Bulls F1 car.
Liam Lawson shared how he started noticing a trend that previously only impacted the top F1 teams on his Racing Bulls car in 2026. The balance between preserving the battery and pushing to the limit during qualifying has been a significant point of conversation this year, leading to new regulations for the Miami race to address the issue. Despite having less downforce than leading cars, Lawson realized the challenge of managing performance and battery usage during laps, especially with new upgrades in Japan. He highlighted the struggle of finding the right balance between cornering performance and battery management, making it a tricky task for drivers this season. While the Racing Bulls team faces this problem to a lesser extent compared to other top teams, Lawson acknowledged that as they become faster, the issue becomes more prominent. He noted that during the Japanese GP, the topic of managing battery usage and performance was increasingly significant for him and the team.
