Liam Lawson finds promise in Montreal sprint

Liam Lawson steered his Racing Bulls machine to an 11th-place finish in the Montreal Sprint, and honestly, the mood in the garage seems buoyed by the pace they found. It is never easy to gauge the true potential of a car during a sprint, but Lawson was clear about the feeling behind the wheel: "The car seems quite fast."

Now, the real test comes. Lawson is eager to head into Grand Prix Qualifying to see exactly what kind of speed his car can produce over a single flying lap. It is a vital next step to validate the performance we just saw on track.
