Racing Bulls secure a valuable double-points haul in Sao Paulo, with Liam Lawson seventh and Isack Hadjar eighth on Sunday, reinforcing the team’s charge for fifth in the Teams’ Championship.
Lawson commits to a one-stop plan over 71 laps, protecting track position against a five-car train. The call proves decisive, despite starting as the second car and ceding pit priority.
A five-second Sprint penalty frames Lawson’s weekend, yet his Sunday execution remains clean. He limits losses early, manages tyres effectively, and converts late-race pressure into points without strategic overreach.
Lawson’s one-stop seventh and Hadjar’s eighth deliver a double-points finish for Racing Bulls.
Hadjar starts fifth but fades to eighth after a compromised opening stint and a single significant mistake. Pace stabilises later, ensuring damage limitation and useful championship returns.
Williams’ advantage falls to 29 points, while Racing Bulls’ buffer over Aston Martin grows to 10. With three Grands Prix and one Sprint left, every operational call carries weight.
Interlagos rewards track position, and the compressed midfield punishes hesitation. Running the second car complicates stop timing, but disciplined tyre management offsets the risk for Lawson.
“It’s always tricky when you’re the second car… Today, I left it all out there.” — Liam Lawson
Hadjar’s assessment is candid. The first stint lacks grip consistency, and the mistake compounds track-position loss. Nevertheless, the RB chassis retains enough pace to convert the afternoon into points.
Strategically, Sao Paulo underscores how marginal gains decide midfield outcomes. Racing Bulls executes with minimal error on Sunday, limiting exposure to undercut threats and prioritising tyre life over short-term aggression.
The calendar now shifts to Las Vegas from November 20 to 22. Cooler night conditions and low-grip surfaces will stress warm-up, making qualifying execution and out-lap preparation critical.
Racing Bulls lead Aston Martin by 10 points with four events remaining, including one Sprint.
