Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has effectively ruled out the prospect of Liam Lawson joining Williams on a loan deal for the 2024 F1 season.
Horner admitted that Lawson “turned heads and gave us something to think about” with his performance in Singapore.
“I think he certainly turned heads and gave us something to think about, in particular following his Singapore drive,” Horner said. “He’s doing everything possible to justify a case for a full-time drive but unfortunately three into two doesn’t go.”“At Red Bull Racing we want the best two drivers that are available,” he added.
“We’ve got a long-term contract with Max. Checo is out of contract at the end of 24, and so you want to explore and see all of those options.“We’ll see how Daniel does, we’ll see how Yuki does and in the background, we’ll see what Liam’s capable of in the test and reserve role.”
