RB have confirmed Liam Lawson will replace Daniel Ricciardo for the remaining six rounds of the 2024 Formula 1 season.
The decision had been all but confirmed by Red Bull's junior squad at the Singapore Grand Prix, but was finally officially announced in press releases on Thursday. The move is set to signal the end of Ricciardo's F1 career, with the 35-year-old Australian having claimed eight victories in 257 grand prix starts across 14 seasons.
He already knows the team well. He drove for us last season, and coped well under difficult circumstances, so it'll be a natural transition. 'It's great to see young talent from within the Red Bull family make the next step. We're looking forward to getting our heads down and focusing on the rest of the season together.
