Lawson Starts Eighth at Dutch Grand Prix, Teammate Hadjar Fourth

Liam Lawson will start in eighth position at the Dutch Grand Prix, marking his third consecutive race within the top ten. This achievement comes after a series of strong performances where he earned points in both Belgium and Hungary. Lawson’s consistency this season is notable, as he has scored points each time he has qualified within the top ten.

His teammate, Isack Hadjar, delivered an impressive performance by qualifying fourth, a significant boost for the French rookie who has not scored points in a Grand Prix since Barcelona earlier this year. Hadjar’s strong qualifying position may serve as an inspiration for Lawson as they both aim to secure a solid finish in Zandvoort.

Despite his solid qualifying position, Lawson faced a slight disappointment. His best qualifying time was recorded during the second session (Q2), which would have placed him sixth had he achieved it in the final session (Q3). Starting in eighth reflects a notable improvement from his previous visit to Zandvoort, where he had to start from the last position after being called up to fill in for Daniel Ricciardo, who was sidelined due to injury.

The Dutch Grand Prix promises an exciting race, especially with Lawson and Hadjar both in competitive starting positions. Racing Bulls is looking to capitalize on their recent form and push for a strong showing on the track.

With the backdrop of Zandvoort’s challenging circuit, Lawson’s experience and Hadjar’s burgeoning confidence could play a crucial role in the team’s performance. As the race unfolds, both drivers will be eager to convert their qualifying positions into valuable points for their team.
