Like anything in life, you put something on a pedestal and you look forward towards it, and you have ideas of what it&#8217;s going to be like, and very rarely is it exactly what you think it&#8217;s going to be like.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;So in a lot of ways, there are a lot of things that have come with it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI think the sport&#8217;s also changed a lot since I was a kid watching it, but at the same time, obviously, it&#8217;s an incredible position to be in, and it&#8217;s something that was my dream when I was very, very young, so I look back and think about what I would tell my obviously younger self and he would be pretty stoked [that I\u2019m here]<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt&#8217;s easy to get lost in all the things that we&#8217;re doing every weekend. You get focused on always the next thing. You have a good result, and you&#8217;re straightaway focused on the next one, so it&#8217;s important to remind yourself how cool it is, but I know I&#8217;m very lucky to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block block-campaign-monitor\">\n<h2>Don&#8217;t miss the latest F1 talking points.<\/h2>\n<div class=\"extra-info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-legal\" id=\"edit-legal--2\">\n<p>Privacy Policy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block block-field-keywords block-layout-builder\">\n<h2>Tags:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">F1<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">2026<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">Liam Lawson<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">Racing Bulls<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block block-next-prev\">\n<div class=\"next-prev-pager contextual-region\">\n<div class=\"items\">\n<div class=\"item prev\">\n<h3> Previous <span>Article<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"card card_plain\">\n<div class=\"content\"> Lewis Hamilton expects Mercedes drivers to be hit with F1 penalties <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item next\">\n<h3> Next <span>Article<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"card card_plain\">\n<div class=\"content\"> Mercedes reveal issue that disadvantaged George Russell\u2019s F1 weekend at British GP <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-block block block-configurable-views-block\">\n<div class=\"author-view grid-view js-view-dom-id-8e47ac42bd4097355255ea7f5d7c4199592b81c95857579d51fb9f1f94026840\">\n<div class=\"card user default\">\n<div class=\"image\"> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/whatsapp-image-2026-03-05-at-12.30.04.jpeg?height=270&amp;format=webp 270w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/whatsapp-image-2026-03-05-at-12.30.04.jpeg?height=180&amp;format=webp 180w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/whatsapp-image-2026-03-05-at-12.30.04.jpeg?height=90&amp;format=webp 90w\" sizes=\"100px\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"header\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"name\">Sam Hall<\/div>\n<div class=\"role\">F1 Writer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"desc\">\n<p>Sam joined Crash.net in February 2026 with extensive experience in motorsport media, having covered numerous championships around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"views-element-container block block-views-blockrelated-content-related-content-block\">\n<h3>Related Articles<\/h3>\n<div class=\"grid-view grid-2 js-view-dom-id-5eb2a2aed23ab4029e2818a3e45625dcc148a2b327ed8c93f53587cf06e1caa6\">\n<div class=\"card card_default\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"links\">\n<div class=\"sections\"> F1  News <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Liam Lawson reveals brutal emotional toll of F1 with heartbreaking story<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-05\/si202605220601.jpg?aspect_ratio=1:1\" alt=\"Lawson was unable to take part in sprint qualifying \" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"card card_default\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"links\">\n<div class=\"sections\"> F1  News <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2018Pretend that I never even went there\u2019 &#8211;

Honestly, we haven&#8217;t even discussed it. Not at all.&#8221; He did, however, confirm that F1 championship leader Tsolov is on his radar.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/xpb_1418201_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Tsolov celebrates on the podium<\/div>\n<div class=\"source\"> \u00a9\u00a0XPB Images<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It&#8217;s honestly not even something I&#8217;ve really thought about,&#8221; Lawson told media, including <em>Crash.net<\/em>. &#8220;Obviously, the summer break is normally a time when things are heavily considered, and I think we have a few more races until then.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cSo at the moment, I&#8217;m just focused on continuing to do what we&#8217;ve been doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt&#8217;s been obviously working very well recently, and it&#8217;d be nice to go into that summer break with another good couple of races.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article\">\n<h2>Read Also<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-9dfdda08f2a4273c7c22937b18c1c56d764ec55ee812bbdd7b85376ee4c096fd\">\n<div class=\"item-list\">\n<ul>\n<li>Racing Bulls&#8217; F1 team order confusion and controversy explained<\/li>\n<li>Racing Bulls responds to claim it has signed F2 star for 2027 F1 seat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBut I think with Formula One, I&#8217;ve I haven&#8217;t been here that long, but I&#8217;ve been here long enough to see how things get stirred up, and it&#8217;s not really something I&#8217;ve been thinking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bulgarian teenager Tsolov completed a rare clean sweep at Silverstone, making him the first driver to achieve this since Zane Maloney achieved the feat at the 2024 Bahrain round.

Like anything in life, you put something on a pedestal and you look forward towards it, and you have ideas of what it&#8217;s going to be like, and very rarely is it exactly what you think it&#8217;s going to be like.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;So in a lot of ways, there are a lot of things that have come with it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI think the sport&#8217;s also changed a lot since I was a kid watching it, but at the same time, obviously, it&#8217;s an incredible position to be in, and it&#8217;s something that was my dream when I was very, very young, so I look back and think about what I would tell my obviously younger self and he would be pretty stoked [that I\u2019m here]<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt&#8217;s easy to get lost in all the things that we&#8217;re doing every weekend. You get focused on always the next thing.
