Lawson 'won't settle for anything less' than 2024 F1 race seat
Since the Dutch Grand Prix, Liam Lawson has replaced Daniel Ricciardo due to Ricciardo’s wrist injury. It is unclear when Ricciardo will return to AlphaTauri. Lawson has shown promising performances in his two appearances at Zandvoort and Monza, keeping up with his more experienced teammate Yuki Tsunoda. Lawson now aims to secure a full-time F1 seat for 2024. However, AlphaTauri faces a dilemma as they will have to choose between Tsunoda, Ricciardo, and Lawson for next year. While the team typically prefers younger drivers like Lawson and Tsunoda, Ricciardo’s experience and potential could be valuable for the struggling team. Lawson, who has competed in various racing series, including DTM and Formula 2, feels ready to reach the pinnacle of motorsport in F1. As for the remaining seats, Zhou Guanyu is retained by Alfa Romeo, and there is uncertainty surrounding Logan Sargeant’s seat at Williams. Time will reveal which driver will miss out on a 2024 drive.
