Liam Lawson has told his Racing Bulls team that it must "score more
points" in the second half of the F1 season. Lawson ended the
first 12 races with a DNF at the British GP after being eliminated
in a first-lap collision with Esteban Ocon to leave him on 12
points out of a team total of 36. The former Red Bull driver has
only scored in two races, with an eighth in Monaco and sixth in
Austria, with the latter the best result for a New Zealander since
Chris Amon's fifth at the 1976 Spanish GP. Despite the lack of
points scoring, Lawson believes the team has not delivered on its
full potential, citing Silverstone as an example of a missed
opportunity. "We just need to score more points," Lawson told the
media, when asked by RacingNews365 where the team could improve in
the second half of the season. "We missed points [at Silverstone],
we've had a very fast car recently and missed points, so Austria
was great, but one great weekend is not enough. "We need to keep
doing them and races like [Silverstone], we normally love it. It is
an opportunity for us to have a strong race. "You look at Brazil
last year, so it doesn't matter what car you are in, you can make
something happen."
