Liam Lawson has the remaining six races of the season to prove to Red Bull he deserves at least an RB seat next season.
Christian Horner has put pressure on Liam Lawson to deliver results or risk losing a future Red Bull seat to a junior driver. Red Bull’s reserve driver will step in for Daniel Ricciardo for the remaining six races to assess his readiness for a full-time seat next year. Lawson will team up with Yuki Tsunoda, who is already signed with Red Bull for the next season, under close scrutiny from Horner. The decision to replace Ricciardo early is part of Red Bull’s future planning and evaluating potential drivers. The upcoming races will determine if Lawson could potentially succeed Sergio Perez in the future. Red Bull is considering various options, including looking outside their current pool of drivers, based on Horner’s comments on the team’s strategic driver lineup decisions.
