Has Red Bull made the right decision to promote Lawson?

Liam Lawson has been tasked with going up against Max Verstappen in his first full F1 season - was it the right choice?

19 December 2024

The 2025 F1 season will see Red Bull enter with a new driver line-up. Liam Lawson has been chosen to partner Max Verstappen at the team following Sergio Perez's exit after four years. Lawson has bested RB team-mate Yuki Tsunoda to the drive, with the latter having four seasons of experience at the sister F1 squad. With just 11 starts, Lawson joins the front-running F1 squad ahead of what is set up to be an enthralling F1 season. But has Red Bull made the right decision to call up Lawson? Or should it be Tsunoda in the seat alongside Verstappen? Have your say below!
