Jos Verstappen has drawn on his own experiences in F1 to advise Liam Lawson not to attempt “to keep up with Max at all costs” when he debuts with Red Bull.
Liam Lawson has been selected as Max Verstappen’s partner at Red Bull following the team’s decision to part ways with Sergio Perez due to his poor performance last season. Despite limited experience, Red Bull chose Lawson over Yuki Tsunoda for his mental strength. The second Red Bull seat has been challenging since Daniel Ricciardo left in 2018, with Perez being the third driver dropped since then. Verstappen Sr advised Lawson not to repeat his mistake of trying to keep up with Max at all costs. Lawson’s initial focus is on supporting Verstappen and helping Red Bull win the Constructors’ title. Lawson expressed his goal of winning a World Championship but understands the importance of contributing to the team’s success.
