Liam Lawson has once again demonstrated his skill in Formula One, qualifying ninth for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix. This marks the second consecutive race in which the New Zealand driver has achieved a top-10 qualifying position, continuing his impressive performance with Racing Bulls, a team affiliated with the renowned Red Bull Racing.

In the qualifying session, Lawson clocked a best time of 1 minute 15.821 seconds. While this was not his fastest effort of the weekend, it placed him 0.449 seconds behind pole position, which was secured by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. The current world championship leader, Oscar Piastri, qualified second, and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris followed in third.

Lawson’s performance was notable not only for its position but also for its competitiveness. He finished 0.094 seconds ahead of his teammate, Isack Hadjar, who will start in tenth place. Furthermore, Lawson outpaced Max Verstappen, the senior driver for Red Bull, who qualified eighth.

In each of those instances, Lawson has successfully converted his qualifying position into a points finish, highlighting his ability to perform under pressure and adapt during the races.

The Hungarian Grand Prix, taking place on July 23, 2023, presents another opportunity for Lawson to showcase his growing prowess in the competitive world of Formula One. As he gears up for the race, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if he can maintain his upward trajectory and secure more valuable points for Racing Bulls.
