Red Bull Racing driver Liam Lawson aimed a pointed remark at Ferrari's Charles Leclerc following their on-track incident during the Brazilian Grand Prix. The New Zealander suggested the clash might be a recurring pattern for the Monegasque driver.
"Maybe it's his specialty," Lawson said in the aftermath of the São Paulo race, referencing the contact between the two competitors. The comment adds another layer to the growing tension between the pair, who have crossed paths in several close-quarters battles this season.
The incident occurred during a pivotal phase of the Grand Prix at Interlagos, where both drivers were fighting for position. Stewards reviewed the contact but took no further action, leaving the drivers to settle their differences in the court of public opinion.
Lawson, in his first full season with the senior Red Bull team, has shown a willingness to race hard against established stars. Leclerc, a multiple race winner for Ferrari, has been involved in several high-profile wheel-to-wheel encounters throughout 2026.
The Brazilian Grand Prix marked the penultimate round of the championship, with both constructors' and drivers' titles still mathematically alive heading into the season finale.
