Liam Lawson’s Continues His RedBull Run

Liam Lawson Gets Another Chance

Liam Lawson will race for RedBull Racing for a third straight weekend. He will compete at the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.
The team is still waiting for Isack Hadjar to return. As a result, Lawson will race beside Max Verstappen again.
This gives Lawson more time in one of Formula 1’s top teams. It also gives Red Bull more time to study his progress.

A Strong Start at Zandvoort

Lawson began his latest Red Bull run at the Dutch Grand Prix. He finished seventh at Zandvoort.
The result was impressive because Lawson had little time to prepare. Even so, he adapted quickly after joining the team.
Lawson also said he felt more comfortable than during his earlier Red Bull spell in 2025.
Therefore, his result gave both Lawson and Red Bull more confidence. It also helped him settle into the team.

Lawson’s reaction after his performance

A Tougher Race at Monza

The Italian Grand Prix brought a harder weekend for Liam Lawson. He started the race from the pit lane.
Lawson finished 14th at Monza. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen finished third for Red Bull.
The result was not as strong as Lawson’s Dutch Grand Prix finish. However, Red Bull still decided to keep him in the car.
Hadjar continues to recover. Therefore, Lawson will get another chance to show his ability in Madrid.

Why the Third Weekend Matters

The extra race gives Lawson more time with the Red Bull team. He can learn more about the car and its setup.
He can also work more closely with Verstappen and the team staff. This experience may help him during future races.
Lawson has faced another challenge during the driver changes. He has prepared for races with both Red Bull and Racing Bulls.
The two cars feel different to drive. Because of this, Lawson must adjust each time he changes cars.

Lawson Can Build Momentum

The Spanish Grand Prix could become an important weekend for Liam Lawson. A strong result may improve his chances of a longer Red Bull role.
Red Bull is still reviewing its driver choices. Therefore, Lawson must show speed, focus and steady form.
Fans will follow the Liam Lawson Red Bull story throughout the Spanish Grand Prix weekend.

Player of the Match

Nahida Akhter | Bangladesh

Thanks to Almighty, we won the match and definitely Player of the Match is good for me. At that time, I knew my role, and my coach told me my role, and I knew Shorna Akter was there. So it was easy for me to bat. No, we were 20 runs short. Still, we believed our batsmen could do better, and we knew our bowling strength.

With the Asian Games fast approaching, India’s athletes are stepping up their preparations with a clear focus on delivering their best in Aichi-Nagoya.

Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha expressed confidence in India’s athletes and opened up about their preparations ahead of the Games.

“I don’t want to count how many medals we are going to get, but I have a lot of confidence in our players,” Usha said in the send off ceremony. “The preparation has been good, the associations have done a lot for the athletes and the government is fully supporting them.

“They should focus on their event, try their best and not keep stress. Then it will be a good performance, and we can be proud of it,” she added.

Indian weightlifter Antim Panghal reflected on the support form the association. “We have a few days left for the Asian Games. We have a camp in Delhi, where we are getting good training partners. We are trying to give our 100%. We have to give our best and give 100% of what we have trained for,” Panghal said. “Injury is a part of our game. We have to recover from the injury and prepare more than before. We did not train when we were injured, so we have to set our mindset.”

Young judoka Asmita Dey also reflected on her preparation. “Right now, I am training well, and I have to win a medal at the Asian Games for my country. I am training hard for that. I will also go to Japan for training in two-three days and try to prepare well,” Dey said. “Two-three players in my weight category are Olympians, and they have won many medals at the world level. I will have to train a lot for the fights against them so that I can defeat them, reach the finals and win a medal.”

Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya highlighted the growing pool of talent in Indian sports pointing out the number of athletes making there Asian Games debut.

“Of the 503 athletes going to the Asian Games, more than 300 are competing for the first time,” Mandaviya said. “This shows that new talent is coming through in Indian sport.

India will face tough competition at Asian Games: Gavaskar

While there has been a lot of discussion regarding the facilities that will be provided to the Indian cricket team at the Asian Games in Japan, India great Sunil Gavaskar batted for conquering the challenge, instead of making it a big issue, to make the event more special. The Indian team is scheduled to play its first match on September 28 at the Korogi Sports Park, which is known for hosting cricket and baseball games.

“It’s not a regular cricket playing country. I think perhaps they will not be what you normally get to see in cricket playing countries. So the conditions might be different, the crowd might also be a lot less than what you get when India plays," Gavaskar said during an interaction with the media.

“It’s very difficult from here to talk about the pitches or the facilities available for practice, or about accommodation. However, I think the beauty of cricket has been that cricketers generally, when you play in club cricket in your cities, you play on maidans (open grounds), the dressing rooms are just tents, outfields are not necessarily the best. I think that is the challenge, and to conquer that challenge and to win will be even more special," he added.

Gavaskar appreciated the fact that the Indian team has decided to enter the event with full strength. “Indian batting is absolutely fantastic. Down the order, I think we’ve got players at number six and seven who can score at strike rate of 140, 150. This is something to really look forward to. Also, playing with (Jasprit) Bumrah is actually a good idea. He has to get some bowling under his belt before he plays in the series against New Zealand. Shreyas Iyer is also very experienced as a captain. During IPL, he played well and there should not be any further pressure on him for this event. Every captain gets the honour and privilege of leading the country, so I don’t think that he’s going to have any pressure going into the Asian Games," said Gavaskar.

“It’s going to be tough as it’s a T20 tournament. Bangladesh are in form, Pakistan are always dangerous and Sri Lanka also as a T20 team are terrific, not to forget Afghanistan, so it’s not going to be easy at all," he added.

“Apart from these four countries, Nepal’s been playing some very good cricket as well. So, we saw that in the T20 World Cup, where they almost surprised England and a couple of other teams. Bangladesh recently defeated Australia, at their home, so one cannot just take things easy," he said.
