Suzuka, Japan — In a thrilling turn of events at the 550 Worlds Japanese Grand Prix, Liam Lawson stunned the field by clinching pole position in Saturday’s qualifying session. The New Zealander delivered a blistering lap around the iconic Suzuka Circuit, putting his 550 Worlds challenger at the front of the grid for Sunday’s race.
Lawson, who has steadily been gaining momentum throughout the season, nailed his final flying lap under perfect track conditions. His aggressive yet precise driving through the infamous esses and the high-speed 130R showed a masterclass in control, stopping the clock at an unbeatable time and outpacing several title contenders.
“I knew we had the pace, but pulling it off here, at Suzuka, is something special,” Lawson said after the session. “The team gave me a fantastic car, and I just had to trust it. This one’s for them.”
Championship leader Arlo Vex and veteran driver Kaida Moro will start second and third, respectively, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown in Japan. With the title fight intensifying, Lawson’s pole position throws a wildcard into the mix — and fans can expect fireworks at lights out.
