Liam Lawson says Racing Bulls needs to improve its pace after a difficult Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, despite taking six points from Arvid Lindblad’s seventh-place finish in Baku. Speaking to reporters, including RacingNews365, Lawson said the team had struggled for speed throughout the weekend. In his view, Racing Bulls would not have scored under normal circumstances and did not have Alpine’s pace. He described the points finish as fortunate and said the team would work on its speed over the rest of the triple-header.

Team principal Alan Permane welcomed the six points from a challenging weekend. He said the cars performed better in the race than they had earlier in the weekend, and that the team would study the data to find improvements.
