Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad surprised fans by taking a commercial easyJet flight home following the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.
The pair opted for the budget airline instead of the private jets often associated with Formula 1. Lawson posted a selfie with Lindblad on Instagram Story captioned "Shoutout easyJet," which quickly drew positive reactions online.
Lindblad started the race from seventh and finished ninth, earning two points for the team. Lawson started ninth and placed 12th. "I think every weekend, I'm getting more comfortable, more competitive," Lindblad told Sky Sports F1.
Fans praised the choice on social media, with comments highlighting the team's approach and environmental considerations. One noted the odds of meeting two F1 drivers on a commercial flight, while others joked about cost cap restrictions.
