Lawson set to join Verstappen at Red Bull

Posted : 19 December 2024

New Zealand's Liam Lawson has officially been named as Red Bull Racing's driver for the upcoming Formula 1 season, partnering with world champion Max Verstappen. This announcement follows Red Bull's decision to part ways with Sergio Perez after four seasons, marking a new chapter for the 22-year-old Lawson.  


Lawson joined the Red Bull Junior Programme five years ago and has since showcased his potential in Formula 1. With just 11 grand prix appearances under his belt across two seasons, he now steps into one of the most coveted seats in the sport, eager to build on his promising start.  


Reflecting on his appointment, Lawson shared his excitement, saying, "Becoming an Oracle Red Bull Racing driver has been my dream since childhood. I look forward to learning from Max Verstappen and growing alongside a world champion." His enthusiasm highlights the ambition and determination fueling his rise to this level.  


The move to Red Bull comes after Lawson's commendable performances with Racing Bulls, Red Bull’s sister team. Christian Horner, Red Bull's team principal, praised Lawson’s adaptability and competitive spirit, emphasizing his ability to deliver strong results and take on challenges at the highest level.  


Lawson made his F1 debut at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix, stepping in for an injured Daniel Ricciardo. His consistent performances during the final six races of the 2024 season solidified his reputation, earning him this significant promotion over other contenders, including Yuki Tsunoda.  


The young driver expressed his gratitude to his former team, acknowledging their role in preparing him for this opportunity. He credited the support and experiences gained during his stint with VCARB as instrumental in his development as a Formula 1 driver.  


As Lawson gears up to join Verstappen at Red Bull, he steps into the spotlight with high expectations. His talent and determination promise an exciting new dynamic for the reigning champions in the upcoming season.
