RB sit P7 in the constructors' standings after Miami, 14 points on the board and no wins through the opening four rounds. That's a respectable line in a regulations-reset season where the midfield order is still sorting itself out — but Miami was the kind of Sunday that reminds you how thin the cushion is when the points dry up.
Neither car scored. Liam Lawson retired from P20, Arvid Lindblad came home P14 and a lap down. For a team whose entire 14-point haul has effectively been carried by Lawson's quiet accumulation across the flyaways, a zero-zero weekend is the worst version of a Racing Bulls Sunday: no senior driver banking the scraps, no rookie ambushing a top-ten finish out of the chaos.
The Lawson story is still the one holding this season together. Our coverage has framed his start as a legitimate quiet rebuild after the 2025 demotion saga — P10 in the drivers' table, scoring repeatedly, no recurrence of the rough weekends. Miami interrupts that rhythm rather than rewrites it. Lindblad, meanwhile, remains in the foothold-searching phase we've been flagging since the season opened: no points yet, learning the car and the category simultaneously under the 2026 rules package.
What to watch next: whether Lawson can reset the steady-points cadence that built P7 in the first place, and whether Lindblad's first F1 points arrive before the teams behind RB start closing the gap.
