劳森对巴西站排位赛失误感到遗憾，尽管将从第三位发车
这位小红牛车手在圣保罗排位赛位列第五，因其他车手受罚将在正赛从第三位起步，但他仍对结果感到不满
劳森认为自己的速度足以在圣保罗拿下头排发车位，但他对自己在排位赛中的“失误”感到遗憾，这意味着他只能从第三位发车。
这位新西兰人在雨地排位赛中表现出色，再次晋级Q3，随后与顶级车队的车手争夺前列位置。在排位赛最后一节中，他是较早出场的车手之一，仅晚于费尔南多·阿隆索，并且初期圈速名列前茅。
随着本节练习临近结束时更多降雨到来，车手们尽早完成有效圈至关重要，而劳森的第一轮尝试最终让他位列发车位第三。但他认为自己本可以更高，甚至有可能排在基米·安东内利之前——后者以第三名完赛——只要他在出场圈与阿隆索保持了更大的距离。
“我认为作为车手，你总想最大化发挥，我觉得我们今天没有完全做到，”他在本节结束后对天空体育表示。“我们一出场状态就很好。显然我们在维修区通道上有点运气，我们的位置比顶级车队更靠后。所以我出场后，在第一圈追上了费尔南多太多，不得不放弃第二圈。
“然后我就没能真正最大化发挥。”
劳森在排位赛成绩上比安东内利慢0.226秒——而击败这位新加冕的世界冠军本足以让这位新西兰人获得头排发车位，因为排位赛中做出第二快圈速的乔治·拉塞尔在周末早些时候已受到引擎罚退。
当被问及是否相信能在头排取得排位赛成绩时，劳森回答说：“我的意思是，作为一名车手，我会说有可能，但显然你永远不知道。而且当时雨正在下。所以等我跑到那一圈结束时……你永远说不准。”
“我不知道其他人是什么时候完成的。但是，考虑到我们只跑了一圈，我认为我们做得不错。”
尽管如此，在做出第五快的时间后，由于拉塞尔和夏尔·勒克莱尔的罚退，他将在发车格上前进两个位置。
“这仍然是一个不错的起步位置，”他对媒体说。“显然，我总是接受这些免费的位置提升，但作为一名车手，你也总是希望最大化利用机会。”
“我觉得无论如何，这里的比赛都会很艰难。我认为不太可能完全干地。但我觉得我们在任何条件下都有一辆快车。”
这位新西兰人今年继续给人留下深刻印象，但他下赛季仍未与车队签订合同。

Liam Lawson rues Brazilian GP qualifying mistake despite third-place grid start
The Racing Bulls driver qualified fifth in Sao Paulo and will start third thanks to other drivers' penalties – yet he was still unhappy with the result
Liam Lawson reckons he had enough pace to earn a front-row grid spot in Sao Paulo – but rues his own "mistake" in qualifying, which meant he'll have to start from P3.
The New Zealander starred in wet qualifying, once again progressing into Q3 – and then fighting for the front positions with drivers from the top teams. In the final segment of the session, he was one of the first out on track, only behind Fernando Alonso – and was among the quickest early on.
With more rain coming towards the end of the session, it was important for the drivers to put laps together early, and Lawson's first attempt ultimately put him P3 on the grid. Yet he believes he could've been higher and potentially ahead of Kimi Antonelli, who qualified third – if only he'd left a bigger gap to Alonso on his out-lap.
"I think as a driver you want to maximise it and I feel like we didn't quite today," he told Sky Sports after the session. "We're in a really good place out of the box. Obviously we get lucky with the pit lane that we're further down than the top teams. So I went out there and then I caught Fernando too much on the first lap and had to abort the second one.
"And then I didn't get to really maximise it."
Lawson was 0.226s slower than Antonelli in the qualifying classification – and beating the newly crowned world champion would've been enough for the New Zealander to earn a front-row start, as George Russell, who set the second-fastest time in qualifying, had received an engine penalty earlier in the weekend.
When asked whether he believed qualifying on the front row was possible, Lawson replied: "I mean, as a driver, I'm going to say yes, but obviously you never know. And obviously the rain was coming down. So by the time I got to the end of the lap... You never know.
"I don't know when everybody else did it. But, yeah, considering we got one lap, I think we did a good job."
Still, having set the fifth-fastest time, he'll move two positions up the grid thanks to Russell and Charles Leclerc's penalties.
"It's still a good place to start," he said to the media. "Obviously, I always take the free positions, but you always want to maximise as a driver as well.
"I think either way it's going to be a tough race here. I think unlikely it's going to be fully dry. But I think we have a quick car in all conditions."
The New Zealander, who continues to impress this year, still doesn't have a contract with the team for next season.
