Racing Bulls turned Austria into another quiet constructors’ gain after Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad converted their Red Bull Ring grid positions into a double-points finish.
Lawson came home ninth and Lindblad 10th in Sunday’s Austrian Grand Prix, a result confirmed in Formula 1’s official race report as George Russell won ahead of Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli. It gave Racing Bulls a third consecutive double-points finish, according to F1’s post-race team notes, and stopped a volatile afternoon from becoming another missed midfield chance.
Lindblad point matters beyond P10
The key detail is Lindblad’s conversion. The rookie started inside the same points corridor and, despite losing out to Lawson through the undercut after an early radio scare over the sister car, still banked the final point. F1’s own video clip had Lindblad describing the race as one where he “gave it a good go”, but the wider importance is sharper than that: Racing Bulls protected track position while Audi, Alpine and Haas failed to crack the top 10.
- Lawson: P9
- Lindblad: P10
- Team run: three straight double-points finishes
ReadMotorSport has already tracked the team’s recent momentum in its Barcelona points analysis. Austria added a more repeatable layer: clean execution, tyre discipline and two cars finishing exactly where midfield survival demanded.
