Bahrain Grand Prix: Race team notes - Racing Bulls

NEWS STORY
04/10/2026

Alan Permane: "It felt like a long race today, but it also went by in a flash.

"It's been great to be back here in Malaysia; standing on the grid in the pouring rain this afternoon felt like we'd never been away. This place always gives us a spicy race and that's certainly what we got.

"We definitely got the basics right today; the choice for Inter tyres was the correct one especially as the cars went out, you could see there was huge spray. For Liam it was quite a straightforward race, there were no threats from behind and we stopped under the Safety Car for the first set of Hard tyres and then stopped for the second set later on in the race. Arvid had a little bit of a tougher day, he suffered with a lot more tyre degradation than Liam did, but he's had good pace all weekend and did a great job getting past Nico [Hulkenberg] on that final lap, bringing home that extra point. Whilst we come away with some impressive points today, it's far from over, so we'll take all our learnings into Singapore to finish the triple header.

"A huge well done to everyone at track and back at home in Faenza and a huge congratulations to everyone at Red Bull Ford Powertrains - a first win in its first season - very impressive, congratulations!"

Liam Lawson: "It feels great to be taking home double points from the Bahrain GP in Malaysia, as we continue to fight for P5 in the Championship. I had one of the best starts of my life today and then we managed to maintain a strong position at the front of the midfield for the duration of the race. Our car has been very good all weekend and the strategy throughout the race was on point. Seeing our Power Unit take home the victory also rounds off a solid effort from the team both back at the factory and trackside, so a huge thanks to everyone. We'll be taking all the positives and learnings from this weekend as we head to Singapore tonight. It's a Sprint weekend for the first time there too, so I'm looking forward to maximising all the point scoring opportunities."

Arvid Lindblad: "Today was definitely action packed with all the pit stops and Safety Cars. We finished with an amazing result and the team did a really good job making all the right calls at the right moments, so massive credit to everyone. Even though I feel like I could have done a bit more on my side, there are definitely a lot of positives to take from today, especially as it was my first time driving in the wet. We're now moving on to the final leg of the triple-header, and with Singapore being a Sprint weekend, I'm hoping we can pick up some more points and have another interesting race."
