Liam Lawson returns to Red Bull, starts Dutch Grand Prix from eighth

Liam Lawson will start in eighth position at the Dutch Grand Prix after making Q3 at Circuit Zandvoort. His qualifying performance marks a significant improvement from his two previous outings with Red Bull Racing in 2025, where he qualified 18th and 20th. Lawson attributes his better results to a more manageable RB22 car and increased experience, contrasting it with the difficulty of the RB21. Due to Isack Hadjar's wrist injury, Lawson returned to Red Bull temporarily, partnering with Max Verstappen, while Yuki Tsunoda took Lawson's previous seat at Racing Bulls. The Dutch Grand Prix consists of 72 laps, scheduled for the following day.
