Marko delivers Lawson verdict in ‘Red Bull audition’
Helmut Marko believes Liam Lawson has proven his qualities and confirmed the trust Red Bull placed in him by promoting him to F1. Lawson filled in for Daniel Ricciardo in the last six races of the season and is rumored to be evaluated for a 2025 Red Bull seat, potentially replacing Sergio Perez due to his poor performances. Although Lawson was signed only for a six-race deal, there is no official confirmation regarding his 2025 plans. Lawson impressed during his return in the United States, finishing ninth after starting from the back of the grid. Marko praised Lawson’s strong comeback in the USA and his performance in Mexico where he battled with Perez before encountering late contact from Franco Colapinto. Overall, Lawson has shown improvement and demonstrated the trust Red Bull has in him.
