Lawson backed for Red Bull F1 drive

Liam Lawson has been linked to a Red Bull F1 seat for next year following his immediate call-up to the RB squad.

10 October 2024

By the time the 2025 F1 season starts, Liam Lawson will have almost half a year of grand prix racing experience. And whilst it has yet to be confirmed, the New Zealander is considered a sure bet for a seat next term, in what would be his first full season, or true rookie year, in F1. Now, the biggest question looming over the 22-year-old is where he will race. Having replaced Daniel Ricciardo at RB, at the very least he can expect to partner Yuki Tsunoda, but might he be set for greater things? It is a question that has divided F1 fans. Only 10% of respondents in a recent poll by RacingNews365 feel Lawson will miss out on a drive altogether, but the split in votes between Red Bull and RB is far closer, with a clear majority in agreement over his destination for 2025.
