points weekend with composed performance in Singapore Grand Prix
Formula One driver Liam Lawson secured a seventh-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix, marking his third double-points weekend of the season. His performance has significantly bolstered Racing Bulls' standing in the constructors' championship.
Why it matters
Lawson's consistent performance is shifting the competitive landscape in the F1 midfield and the 'best of the rest' driver standings.
Liam Lawson has completed his third double-points weekend of the 2026 Formula One season, courtesy of a seventh-placed finish at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Having already banked four points from taking a career-best equalling fifth in the sprint race 24 hours earlier, Lawson added another six to his season tally, after getting through a trouble-free 62 laps on the Marina Bay streets.
Singapore, then, becomes Lawson’s third double-points weekend of the season, after doing the same in China and at Silverstone , where he took seventh and sixth respectively after also scoring in the sprints.
“I’m pretty f*****,” the Kiwi conceded over team radio after the chequered flag, with Singapore widely considered the most physically demanding race on the calendar.
“I’m very happy, very proud of the team,” he said post-race. “It’s been a pretty intense few weeks.
