劳森在2026年荷兰大奖赛迎来命运轮回时刻
利亚姆·劳森将在2026年荷兰大奖赛顶替因手部受伤的伊萨克·哈贾尔代表红牛出场，这与他2023年在赞德沃特替补丹尼尔·里卡多完成首秀的情形如出一辙。
2026年荷兰大奖赛带给劳森的圆满时刻
虽然只是短期顶替受伤的伊萨克·哈贾尔，但劳森在荷兰大奖赛重返红牛，是对他最初代表车队出场时遭遇惨痛经历的一种应得回报

可以说是宇宙的因果报应，或者说诗一般的正义——2023年利亚姆·劳森在这里的赞德沃特顶替丹尼尔·里卡多完成了自己的F1首秀，如今这位新西兰车手又一次因为一名车手的手部受伤，在红牛阵营中临危受命顶替出场。
劳森最终把2023年在阿尔法·托利（AlphaTauri）的五站比赛经历作为跳板，实现了全职晋升，因为车队在2024年下半年终于与里卡多分道扬镳。
这让他得以在2025年击败角田裕毅，获得红牛的提拔，但仅仅两个颗粒无收的比赛周末之后，这位新西兰车手就被毫不知会地与角田裕毅互换，回到了卫星车队。
在困难的车中仓促上阵，又没有足够的时间找到状态，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司机，帮助这支英意车队在车队积分榜上升至第六名。
"说实话，如果给我足够的时间，我相信我本可以理清思路的," 劳森在去年年底回顾自己短暂的红牛车队经历时说道。"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。"
在小红牛的另一个席位上，伊萨克·哈德贾尔整个赛季都留在车里，凭借这一点保住了他的领先优势，并且平均而言在单圈速度上是两名车手中更快的一个——尽管差距在不断缩小——因此这位法国人获得召唤、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，为自己赢得了又一个赛季，在这个赛季中，他与新秀阿维德·林德布拉德（Arvid Lindblad）进行着激烈的队内竞争。在排位赛的直接对决中，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。
"我们看得出他肯定不再是以前那个人了，我不想说我们重建了他，因为那有点夸张，但我们只是在力所能及的地方支持和帮助了他,"车队领队艾伦·佩尔马内（Alan Permane）在一级方程式（F1）的《超越网格》（Beyond the 发车区）播客节目中说道。
“我们的职责是帮助他，但他实现了转变。他在模拟器里刻苦训练，在赛道内外都下了很大功夫，我认为我们看到了这一切最终汇聚成一些非常、非常出色的表现。
“他的专注度极高，你可以从他的驾驶中看出来。他对赛车的感知强多了，我认为他与工程师的合作更紧密、更有效，他清楚自己想要从赛车上得到什么，并且能够以充分发挥赛车性能的方式去驾驶它。”
自那次命运多舛的红牛效力经历以来，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·马尔科都已不在其位。但劳森如今得到了机会，至少能以替补的角色在大手车队再试一次。
知道自己可以在哈贾尔手腕伤愈后回到小红牛，这应该能减轻一些压力。但作为一个以为主车队培养车手为使命的组织的一员，加上青训车手尼古拉·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，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·劳森在第一次效力红牛期间只跑了区区两场大奖赛。
如果哈贾尔的恢复进展顺利，劳森在红牛的第二次效力期很可能会比第一次还要短暂。
但一级方程式里总会发生奇怪的事情，只要看看这位新西兰车手当初是如何获得机会的就知道了。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回报，让他的职业生涯中一段塑造性格的经历画上一个圆满的句号。

The full circle moment given to Lawson at the 2026 Dutch GP
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
Liam Lawson & Max Verstappen at 2025 Chinese GP
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 a Red Bull promotion in 2025, over Yuki Tsunoda, but after just two point-less 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 Racing Bulls 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.
