Liam Lawson finished 12th in the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps on July 19, 2026, ending his streak of points finishes. The New Zealand driver for Racing Bulls had scored points in the previous two races.
Lawson was affected by the team's decision to give a car upgrade to his teammate Arvid Lindblad. The upgrade was awarded based on qualifying performance at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone earlier in July, where Lindblad qualified higher.
Despite the setback, Lawson remains competitive in the midfield. The next race is the Hungarian Grand Prix on August 2, 2026.
