Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda appear one step closer to being on the F1 grid in 2025 but what of Liam Lawson?
Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda are likely to continue with Red Bull Racing for the 2025 season, potentially leaving reserve driver Liam Lawson uncertain about his future with the team. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko had previously indicated that Lawson would secure a spot on the grid by 2025 following an impressive performance as a stand-in for Ricciardo. Despite early speculation of Lawson replacing Ricciardo due to the latter’s challenging start to the season, Ricciardo bounced back after receiving a new chassis. Tsunoda has been outperforming Ricciardo and has received praise from RB CEO Peter Bayer for his recent improvements and professionalism. While Lawson remains an important reserve driver for the team, his contract expires at the end of the current season, with team discussions focusing on current drivers and upcoming races rather than long-term plans.
