Liam Lawson calls Racing Bulls lucky after a last‑lap clash with Isack Hadjar in São Paulo. He finishes seventh, Hadjar eighth, as team extends a 10‑point buffer over Aston Martin.
The teammates touch wheels at the opening corner of the final lap, jeopardising a double points finish as Lawson leads a train and Hadjar searches for a late opening.
Hadjar commits early before the braking zone into the curving apex, misjudges the space, and nudges Lawson. Both cars avoid damage and hold position to the flag.
Lawson explains the move was ambitious and slightly mistimed, noting Hadjar tried to clear him before braking. His assessment remains calm and pragmatic after an intense finale.
Seventh and eighth deliver valuable midfield points. In a tight constructors fight, the haul reinforces Racing Bulls’ push to cement sixth place in the closing rounds.
Racing Bulls now holds a 10-point advantage over Aston Martin in the constructors’ standings.
The episode underlines the balance teams seek with free racing. Allowing teammates to fight carries risk, yet preserving car condition is paramount with points in play.
Lawson shrugs off the scare, stressing expectations on a final lap. He says racing for position is non‑negotiable and accepts the jeopardy when rewards outweigh restraint.
The clean outcome preserves momentum and lifts morale inside Faenza. The points swing could prove decisive as rivals chase marginal gains before the season closes.
“We’re lucky to have come out of it without damage.”
Lawson’s composure under pressure, managing a pack while defending from Hadjar, highlights execution. It also reflects a car window that rewards track position management late in stints.
“It’s the last lap of the race. We will always race for positions like that.”
