Liam Lawson’s F1 future beyond 2025 remain uncertain as Red Bull continues to weigh up its options.
Liam Lawson, considering the uncertainty of his own future beyond 2025, believes that very few Formula 1 drivers enjoy long-term contract security.
As a potential candidate for a 2026 Racing Bulls seat, alongside others like Yuki Tsunoda, Isack Hadjar, Arvid Lindblad, and Alex Dunne, Lawson could potentially partner with Max Verstappen at the senior Red Bull team.
Having started the 2025 season as Verstappen’s teammate before being demoted to Racing Bulls after two races, Lawson highlighted the importance of performance to secure a spot on the 2026 grid.
Despite acknowledging that even multi-year contracts don’t guarantee security in F1, Lawson emphasized the constant pressure to perform well, particularly within the Red Bull program.
He noted that the competitive nature of the sport means that only consistent performance can provide a sense of security for drivers, especially within the demanding environment of the Red Bull racing team.
