Christian Horner Teases Liam Lawson’s Red Bull F1 Seat Audition for 2025: A Crucial Six-Race Evaluation Ahead

Christian Horner suggests Liam Lawson could be in line for a 2025 Red Bull F1 position

Christian Horner has suggested that Liam Lawson might secure a spot with Red Bull's F1 team in 2025.

Christian Horner has hinted that Liam Lawson could potentially secure a spot as a Formula 1 driver for Red Bull by 2025.

Lawson has been brought in to join Red Bull's affiliate squad, RB, for the rest of the 2024 Formula 1 season, taking over from Daniel Ricciardo who was let go following the Singapore race. The young driver from New Zealand, aged 22, has a window of six races to make an impact, beginning with the United States Grand Prix.

Red Bull's team leader, Horner, has suggested that Lawson could be promoted to the main team, possibly taking Sergio Perez's place, even though the Mexican driver's contract runs through 2025.

"Horner emphasized the importance of understanding the broader context regarding drivers during his conversation on the F1 Nation podcast."

"With six Grand Prix events left, it presents an ideal chance to pair Liam with Yuki Tsunoda and observe his performance throughout the remaining races.

"This extends beyond VCARB and includes Red Bull Racing. Clearly, we have an agreement with Sergio for the upcoming year, but it's important to always be looking ahead and considering future possibilities."

"Will Liam be the one, or should we search beyond our current options? Is there a chance for another junior to rise to the occasion eventually, such as Isack Hadjar or Arvid Lindblad?"

Having stepped in for the sidelined Ricciardo on five occasions last season, Lawson has been granted another opportunity to showcase his skills, this time alongside Yuki Tsunoda, who is already secured a spot at RB for the upcoming year.

"Horner elaborated that last season, Liam made an impressive entrance and outperformed Yuki in both Singapore and Japan, showcasing his speed right from the start. He emphasized Liam's resilience as a competitor, noting his exceptional ability to adapt."

"Undoubtedly, the trials he has conducted in the Red Bull Racing vehicle this year have been quite promising."

"It's clear that Yuki possesses great speed behind the wheel. He's undoubtedly capable of delivering a quick lap."

"He's no longer a newcomer. Now in his fourth season of grand prix racing, he has amassed considerable experience."

"Using him as a reference, we observed Daniel's performance in relation to Yuki. It's going to be quite fascinating to watch Liam's performance in the upcoming six races."
