Pressure piled onto AlphaTauri as Daniel Ricciardo 2024 decision looms
Lawson will replace the injured Ricciardo for the fourth time at this weekend’s F1 Japanese Grand Prix. Ricciardo’s injury, along with his temporary status and expiring contract, puts his future with AlphaTauri at risk. Lawson is determined to showcase his abilities and make the most of the limited opportunities he has been given. He is uncertain if a full-time stay at AlphaTauri next year is possible. Red Bull must choose between Ricciardo and Lawson for the other seat at their sister team, with Tsunoda reportedly set for a new contract. The decision is complicated by Ricciardo’s recovery and Lawson’s impressive performances. Lawson is focused on giving his all and leaving no room for regrets. While spots in the 2024 F1 driver line-up are becoming scarce, Lawson hopes to secure a season in Formula 1, preferably with Red Bull, who he has been associated with for the past five years.
