It's no easy feat securing a seat on the F1 grid, especially for a winning brand like Red Bull. Lawson opens up about the challenges of getting the job and the paddock's reception to his arrival.
Liam Lawson could be looking at a new teammate in 2025 if paddock speculation about Sergio Perez’s career is to be believed. However, the New Zealand driver said the pressure to perform within the Red Bull family never goes away. In fact, it will likely only be heightened if Max Verstappen is on the other side of his garage next year. “You’re always being evaluated,” Lawson shared with me on our road trip from California to Nevada ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix .
“I would come back from a Super Formula race and Max would talk to me about something that had happened. I would be like, ‘Dude, why were you watching that?’ but it was really cool, especially when I was a reserve driver because I was wide-eyed and everything felt new to me. To have Max talking to me at that point was really cool. I took a lot of advice from him.
