劳森意外回归红牛出赛赞德福特，替补角色无压力迎战
利亚姆·劳森意外代表红牛车队出赛赞德福特站，《The 比赛》撰文称这是一次“零风险”的机会，表现不佳不应被苛责，而任何成绩都将提升他的声誉。
利亚姆·劳森（劳森）在赞德沃特意外地为红牛车队出战，这是一次毫无压力的机会。
他从未驾驶过红牛小红牛22，他在短时间内被塞进这辆车，这辆车并不好开，而且他要面对的是马克斯·维斯塔潘（维斯塔潘）。就成绩而言，失败本来就是底线，所以任何理性的观察者都不应从结果中得出负面结论，而他取得的任何成绩都只会提升他的声誉。
这正是劳森应该拥抱的理想心态。没有期望的负担，他最有机会进入那种运动员发挥最佳水平的心流状态，完全专注于过程而不是执着于结果。这将使他能够做到在当前情况下堪称特别的事情。
这说起来容易做起来难，并且取决于红牛能否给予他在2025年所未能给予他的支持与信心。
当他去年获得晋升时，就已经注定会失败。这并非有意为之，而是当时的处境使然。
确实，他没有充分利用这次机会，在2025年的前两场比赛中显得完全不知所措，而且任何车手的首要目标都是拿出表现、保住席位，但在没有给他足够时间和支持去发挥最佳水平之前，就解雇一名年轻且缺乏经验的车手，这实在荒谬。
一旦你做出了提拔一名车手的决定，你就需要支持他，让事情自然发展下去。无论你对他是否应该被提拔持何种立场，这件事都让红牛（红牛）的形象大打折扣。
幸运的是，这与如今的红牛车队已有所不同，而且洛朗·梅基斯（Laurent Mekies）之前曾与劳森（Lawson）共事过，应该知道如何让他发挥出最佳水平。
不可避免的是，总会有一些不利的境况让Lawson陷入困境，因为这似乎已内嵌于红牛的行事方式之中。
尽管他本赛季至今的表现本应让他稳坐位置——他已证明自己是一名出色的F1中游车手——但他2027年的席位仍面临压力。在一家普通的中游F1车队，这就足够了，但红牛的车手输送带仍在不停运转，需要为F2锦标赛领跑者Nikola Tsolov腾出一个席位，这意味着Lawson的位置还不稳固。
所以这是他向红牛展示自己进步多大的机会，如今他已经有时间真正站稳脚跟，成为一名成熟的F1车手。
今年截至目前，他在小红牛的表现令人印象深刻，发挥稳定，延续着上赛季随着方向盘调整到位、找回他所擅长的手感之后逐渐积累的势头，并且很好地适应了新动力单元带来的挑战。
这与其说是为了争取重返红牛 比赛的机会，不如说是为了强调一个事实：他明年应该留在小红牛，如果不行的话，也应该去F1中游车队的其他位置。
风险以及他对赛车缺乏熟悉度，将使Lawson难以进入那种专注于过程、放手一搏的心态。
我们对Lawson和Tsunoda被征召参加荷兰大奖赛的看法
但这就是职业运动员的本职工作，而外界的人则有责任现实地看待什么才算作为一名替补车手干得漂亮，并认识到这是一个没有下行风险、只有潜在收获的周末。
而且，正因如此，如果他拿出一些特别的表现，那将会意味着多么重大。
英文原文
Liam Lawson’s unexpected outing for Red Bull Racing at Zandvoort is a free hit.
He’s never driven the Red Bull RB22, he’s been thrown into it at short notice, it’s not an easy car to drive and he’s up against Max Verstappen. Failure, in terms of the results, is the baseline, so no rational observer should take any negatives from how it plays out while anything he does achieve should enhance his reputation.
This is the ideal mindset for Lawson to embrace. Unburdened by expectations, he has the best chance of getting into that flow state where athletes do their best work, focusing fully on the process rather than obsessing about the results. That is what will allow him to do something that is, in the circumstances, special.
This is easier said than done, and is dependent on Red Bull giving him the support and confidence that it denied him in 2025.
When he was promoted last year, he was set up to fail. This wasn’t by design, but in the situation.
It’s true he didn’t make the most of the opportunity, looking all at sea in the first two events of 2025, and the first objective for any driver is to deliver and hang onto the seat, but axing a young and inexperienced driver before giving him the time and backing to do his best work was absurd.
Once you've made the decision to promote a driver you need to back them and let it play out. Regardless of your position on whether or not he should have been promoted, that reflected terribly on Red Bull.
Fortunately, that’s a different Red Bull team to the one that exists today, and Laurent Mekies has worked with Lawson before and should know how to get the best out of him.
Inevitably, there has to be some adverse set of circumstances making it difficult for Lawson as that appears to be baked into the Red Bull way of doing things.
He’s under pressure for his seat in 2027 despite performing at a level so far this season that should make him a lock, as he's proven himself to be a good F1 midfielder. It would do in a normal midfield F1 team, but the Red Bull driver conveyor belt keeps on rolling and the need to find a berth for Formula 2 championship leader Nikola Tsolov means Lawson’s position isn’t yet secure.
So this is his chance to demonstrate to Red Bull just how much he’s improved now he’s had the chance to bed in as an F1 driver.
He has impressed for Racing Bulls so far this year, performing consistently, building on the momentum that gathered as last season progressed once steering changes had been made to give him the feel he thrives with, and adapting well to the challenges of the new power units.
This is less about a shot at getting back into Red Bull Racing, more about underlining the fact he should be in a Racing Bulls next year, and if not there then elsewhere in F1’s midfield.
The stakes and his lack of familiarity with the car will make it difficult for Lawson to lock into the process-focused, free-hit mindset.

But that’s the job of the professional sportsperson, while it’s the responsibility of those on the outside to be realistic about what constitutes doing a good job as a stand-in and recognise this is a no-downside, all-potential-upside weekend.
And, as a consequence, how much it would mean if he produces something special.
