United States Grand Prix: Race team notes - Racing Bulls

NEWS STORY
26/10/2026

Alan Permane: "It's been a very strong weekend for us. To have both cars in Q3 once again and then comfortably outperform our Championship rivals is a fantastic result.

"It was a textbook race from Liam; he controlled the gap to Pierre throughout and was driving well within himself and the car. Arvid picked up some damage to the left-hand side of his car relatively early on, which certainly compromised his performance. He did well to recover from 14th on the grid to finish 12th. It's another valuable learning experience for him, particularly as it was his first time racing in Austin. Mexico presents another new challenge, but our aim is to carry the pace he showed on Saturday into the next weekend and deliver a clean race."

Liam Lawson: "It's been a really positive weekend. The team have done a brilliant job with the upgrades they've brought to the car, so it feels great to be coming away with points. We executed the race very well and I've personally felt good in the car all weekend as it's in a strong place at the moment. We're still quite far behind the front runners, but to be at the top of the midfield and looking ahead should be seen as a positive. I'm looking forward to continuing this momentum and racing at some of the unique tracks we've got coming up. Big thanks to the team for all the hard work."

Arvid Lindblad: "It was a decent race. Unfortunately, I didn't get the start I was hoping for and wasn't able to make as much progress as I'd have liked on Lap 1. I struggled a little on the Softs during the first stint, but things improved on the Mediums, and we had a stronger second stint. I lost some time battling with Franco, which meant I had to push hard to try to catch Pierre, but ultimately, I wasn't able to close the gap. We committed to a two-stop strategy today, and there are definitely some positives to take away from the race, but we'll review everything with the team to understand whether there was anything we could have done better. Overall, though, I felt really good in the car, and it was an enjoyable race working my way through the field. It was one of those races where I was pretty much flat out from start to finish. I'm looking forward to getting back out there and racing in Mexico next week."
