    A former teammate's predicting Kiwi Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson will maximise his results, in what's likely to be a challenging year in Formula One

    A former teammate's predicting Kiwi Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson will maximise his results, in what's likely to be a challenging year in Formula One


    The 20-26 season starts with today's opening two practice sessions at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

    It'll be the first competitive run-out for the new cars.

    Having been promoted to the top Red Bull team, Frenchman Isack Hadjar says bigger time gaps under the new regulations means Lawson's in for a challenge.



    Opening practice is set for 2.30pm, with the second session at 6 tonight.
