    Liam Lawson's confident Red Bull Racing's powerbrokers are doing everything they can to help him have an improved second weekend of the new Formula One season


    The New Zealand driver struggled across the three days at the season-opener in Melbourne, and crashed out after rain arrived in the final stages of the race itself.

    The Chinese event is under way in Shanghai ... Lawson's been asked what the feedback's been Red Bull team boss Christian Horner and adviser Helmut Marko.



    Lawson finished 18th in first practice, but only two places behind his champion teammate Max Verstappen ... sprint race qualifying starts at 8.30 tonight.
