Racing Bulls gains points in Austin

Racing Bulls earned two extra points at the United States Grand Prix after Liam Lawson secured a ninth-place finish, ensuring the team a top-10 result for the first time this season. The performance also helped the team reclaim a point from Alpine in the fight for fifth place in the constructors' championship.

Lawson maintains position during race

Starting from ninth on the grid, Lawson held his position for most of the race, keeping Pierre Gasly behind him. This demonstrated the competitiveness of Racing Bulls' car on the Circuit of the Americas, a track known for its high-speed straights and technical corners.

Unusual alarm disrupts Lawson's race

During a virtual safety car period, Lawson encountered an unusual issue when a sound alarm in his cockpit started beeping, warning him of exceeding the speed limit. Despite slowing down and confirming he was within the allowed margin, the alarm continued, which he found extremely distracting and possibly due to a software malfunction.

Lindblad faces challenges in Austin

Arvid Lindblad finished 12th after starting 14th due to a penalty related to his power unit. His race was more complicated, especially during his first stint, as he struggled to find space on the track and attempted a two-stop strategy to gain an advantage over Gasly.

Team principal praises performance

Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane praised the team's performance in Austin, calling it a solid weekend. He highlighted Lawson's ability to control his lead over Gasly and noted that Lindblad had suffered damage to his car early in the race, which affected his rhythm, though he still managed to gain two positions.

Racing Bulls aims to continue progress

The team now looks ahead to the Mexican Grand Prix, where it hopes to build on its recent results and continue its battle with Alpine for fifth place in the constructors' championship.
