Liam Lawson has revealed that Red Bull boss Christian Horner told him last season that he would be guaranteed a F1 race drive in 2024.
Red Bull Racing announced last month that Daniel Ricciardo will not complete the remaining six rounds, as Liam Lawson will take his place alongside Yuki Tsunoda. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko previously mentioned Lawson would get an F1 seat, but team principal Christian Horner downplayed those claims. Lawson revealed Horner assured him a year ago that he would race in F1, following a successful five-race stint last year. Lawson learned in Baku that he would replace Ricciardo, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of F1. Despite the uncertainty, Lawson praised Ricciardo’s support and focused on the upcoming races, describing a potential F1 return as “very challenging.”
