As it turned out, the demotion might have been a blessing in disguise.
Seven points finishes and a season-best of fifth in Baku saw Lawson finish as the second-best driver in his own team and with no chance of a return to Red Bull Racing, but with Isack Hadjar moving up, the 24-year-old got a lifeline that should offer him the stability he’s never had.
The Kiwi has shown he has tenacity and isn’t scared to get his elbows out; having continuity (at least by Red Bull standards) can only be a positive for a driver who has the potential to lead a midfield team by his deeds if afforded a proper chance.
