RB has confirmed that Liam Lawson will replace Daniel Ricciardo for the rest of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Ricciardo’s potential departure was discussed during the Singapore Grand Prix, where he acknowledged the possibility of leaving Formula 1 for good. Lawson, who impressed during his brief stint last year, will make his return at the United States Grand Prix. Ricciardo’s 2024 season has been modest, scoring a best result of eighth place in the Canadian Grand Prix. RB expressed gratitude to Ricciardo for his contributions and welcomed Lawson back to the team, hinting at a possible 2025 lineup change. Despite uncertainties surrounding Perez’s future, the focus remains on finishing the current season strong alongside teammate Tsunoda.
