利亚姆·劳森意外获红牛召唤，坚持不懈终得回报
利亚姆·劳森因伊萨克·哈贾尔手部受伤，将在赞德沃特举行的荷兰大奖赛上再次临时替补红牛旗下车手出战，这正是他2023年首次亮相F1并替补丹尼尔·里卡多的同一条赛道。
利亚姆·劳森意外获得红牛的召唤，这是对他坚持不懈的回报
虽然只是临时顶替受伤的伊萨克·哈贾尔，但劳森在荷兰大奖赛上重返红牛，是他在车队首秀遭遇惨淡开局后应得的回报
可以说是宇宙的因果报应，也可以说是诗意的正义——在赞德沃特，也就是利亚姆·劳森2023年代替丹尼尔·里卡多完成一级方程式首秀的地方，这位新西兰车手再次因为一名车手的手部受伤而在红牛阵营中替补出场。
劳森最终把2023年在阿尔法·托利（AlphaTauri）的五场比赛经历作为跳板，成功晋升为正式车手，因为车队在2024年下半年最终与里卡多分道扬镳。
这促成了他在2025年获得红牛车队的提拔，顶替角田裕毅，但仅仅经历了两个灾难般的周末之后，这位新西兰车手就被毫不留情地与角田裕毅互换，回到了卫星车队。
在被扔进一辆难以驾驭的赛车中试炼、又没有得到足够的时间来站稳脚跟之后，劳森本可以轻易地垂头丧气，或者把关系闹僵。但从那以后，这位24岁的车手一直在安静而稳定地重塑自己，在小红牛（小红牛）成为了一名更全面的车手，并帮助这支英意车队在车队积分榜上夺得第六名。
"说实话，我本来以为只要有足够的时间，我就能真正搞明白那辆车的，"劳森在去年年底回顾自己在红牛车队那段短暂的征程时说道。"两场比赛……说实话我甚至都记不太清了。但今年发生了很多事情，让我变得更强大了。"
在小红牛（小红牛）的另一个席位上，伊斯克·哈贾尔凭借整个赛季都在赛车中度过的连续性保住了自己的先发优势，并且在单圈速度上平均是两名车手中更快的那一个——尽管优势在不断缩小——这位法国车手获得召唤、在2026年加入顶级车队，是一个合乎逻辑的决定。

但与此同时，劳森也展现出了足够的车速、稳定性和韧性，从而获得了另一个赛季的机会，在这个赛季中，他正与新人阿维德·林德布拉德（Arvid Lindblad）进行激烈的队内竞争。在排位赛的正面对比中，劳森以8比6领先林德布拉德，而且两人经常在为积分而战。
“我们看得出他显然已经不是从前的那个人了，我不想说我们重塑了他，因为那有点夸张，但我们只是在力所能及的范围内支持和帮助了他，”车队领队阿兰·珀马内在一级方程式官方播客《超越发车格》（Beyond the 发车区）中说道。
“我们的职责是帮助他，但实现转变的是他自己。他在模拟器里努力训练，在赛道内外都下了苦功，我认为我们看到这些努力最终结出了非常、非常出色的表现。”
“他极其专注，你能从他的驾驶中看出来。他对赛车的感知更强了，我认为他与工程师的合作更紧密、更高效，他清楚自己想要赛车提供什么，并且能够以充分发挥赛车潜能的方式去驾驶它。”
自那段命运多舛的红牛生涯以来，红牛的领导层已经发生了变化，车队领队克里斯蒂安·霍纳和车手发展顾问赫尔穆特·马尔科都已离任。但劳森现在至少获得了一次机会，以替补的身份再次进入这支大车队。
知道一旦哈贾尔的手腕痊愈就可以回到小红牛（小红牛），这应该能减轻他的一些压力。但作为一个致力于为主车队培养车手的组织的一员，加上青年车手尼古拉·措洛夫在F2中表现出色，看起来注定在不久的将来有机会进入小红牛（小红牛），劳森得到了一个进一步提升自身价值、改善未来前景的机会。
利亚姆·劳森在第一次红牛生涯中只参加了两场大奖赛
如果哈贾尔的恢复进展顺利，劳森在红牛的第二次效力期可能会比第一次还要短暂。
但在F1中奇怪的事情随时可能发生，只需看看这位新西兰车手当初是如何获得这个机会的就知道了。往好处想，这可能成为劳森长期未来的又一个跳板。
往坏处想，这也是对他坚持不懈的应有回报，让他为职业生涯中这段磨砺品格的经历画上一个圆满的句号。

Liam Lawson's unexpected Red Bull call-up rewards his perseverance
While just a short-term replacement for the injured Isack Hadjar, Lawson's Red Bull comeback at the Dutch GP is a just reward after his calamitous first outings with the squad
Call it cosmic karma or poetic justice, but on the scene of Liam Lawson's Formula 1 debut, deputising for Daniel Ricciardo in 2023, the New Zealander is again replacing a driver in the Red Bull stable at Zandvoort because of a hand injury.
Lawson eventually used his five-race stint with AlphaTauri in 2023 as a launch pad for full-time graduation, as the organisation finally moved on from Ricciardo in the latter half of 2024.
That led to Red Bull promotion in 2025, over Yuki Tsunoda, but after just two disastrous weekends the New Zealander was unceremoniously swapped with Tsunoda and returned to the satellite team.
Having been hung out to try in a difficult car without getting enough time to find his feet, Lawson could have easily dropped his head or burned his bridges. But since then, the 24-year-old has been quietly but steadily rehabilitating himself, becoming a more rounded driver at Racing Bulls as he helped propel the Anglo-Italian squad to sixth place in the constructors' standings.
"I would have liked to have thought that with the right amount of time, I would have got my head around it honestly," Lawson reflected on his short-lived Red Bull Racing stint at the end of last year. "Two races was... I honestly don't even really remember them. But a lot of things have happened this year that have made me a lot stronger."
In the other Racing Bulls seat, Isack Hadjar hung on to his head start by being in the car all season and was, on average, the fastest of the two drivers over one lap - by an ever-decreasing margin - and the Frenchman getting the call to join the top team for 2026 was the logical decision.
Liam Lawson contested five races with AlphaTauri in 2023
But at the same time, Lawson also showed enough speed, consistency and resilience to get another season, in which he is fighting a close intra-team battle with rookie Arvid Lindblad. Lawson is leading Lindblad 8-6 in the qualifying head-to-head, and the pair is regularly fighting for points.
"We could tell he certainly wasn't the same guy, and I don't want to say we rebuilt him because that's a little bit dramatic, but we just supported and helped him where we could," team principal Alan Permane said on F1's Beyond the Grid podcast.
“We're there to help him, but he made a turnaround. He worked hard in the simulator, he worked hard off track and on track, and I think we saw that culminating with some really, really good performances.
"He's laser-focused and you can see that you can see that in his driving. He's much more aware of the car, I think he works better and closer with his engineers, he knows what he wants from the car, he's able to drive it in a way to get the best out of the car.”
Red Bull's leadership has changed since that fateful Red Bull stint, with both team principal Christian Horner and driver development advisor Helmut Marko out of the picture. But Lawson now gets a chance to at least have a second go at the big team in a deputising role.
The knowledge of returning to Racing Bulls once Hadjar's wrist heals should take off some of that pressure. But as part of an organisation that exists to bring through drivers for the main team, and with junior driver Nikola Tsolov impressing in F2 and looking destined for a shot at VCARB at some point in the near future, Lawson gets an opportunity to further raise his stock and improve his future outlook.
Liam Lawson managed just two grands prix during his first Red Bull stint
If all goes well with Hadjar's recovery, Lawson's second stint with Red Bull may well be even shorter than the first.
But strange things can happen in F1, just look at how the New Zealander got his chance in the first place. At best, it could be another launch pad for Lawson's long-term future.
At worst, it's a just reward for his perseverance and a way to come full circle with a character-building episode of his career.
