Lawson believes he is already better at dealing with pressing.

      Liam Lawson believes that the experience and resilience gained over 36 Grands Prix with both Red Bull teams will help him cope with the psychological pressure that will inevitably accompany his second full season in Formula 1.

      The New Zealand driver for Racing Bulls is ready to admit that last year he struggled in that respect, in part because with so many rounds on the calendar running literally one after another he simply didn’t have time for proper preparation.

      "The main difference in Formula 1 compared to other categories is the very short breaks between races," Lawson told RacingNews365. "Sometimes you think you’re perfectly prepared. Then you head to the next round of the season and you’re already at the start of qualifying before you’ve even had time to realise it. It’s quite possible that because of that your session won’t go as well.

      You try to learn from everything that happens over a race weekend, but very soon the next weekend comes around, especially if three rounds come back-to-back, each separated by a week.

      Your job is to take the most important lessons from each weekend and immediately get to work for the next round. Doing that constantly, in both good times and bad, is very tough mentally.

      One weekend can go brilliantly and the next terribly, and you have to deal with those ups and downs pretty much all year. I’d never had as many races in a season as I did in 2025, but of course I’m now better prepared for those demands."
