Lawson ‘wouldn’t be happy’ with 2024 reserve spot
New Zealand driver Liam Lawson was brought in by AlphaTauri to substitute for Daniel Ricciardo in the Dutch Grand Prix after Ricciardo suffered a fractured hand. Lawson achieved his first career points by finishing ninth in the Singapore Grand Prix, which was also AlphaTauri’s best result of 2023. Although Lawson is in contention for a full-time seat with AlphaTauri in 2024, he will step aside once Ricciardo is cleared to return. The driver lineup for AlphaTauri in 2024 has yet to be determined, but it is expected that Yuki Tsunoda will remain and Ricciardo is confident about returning full-time. Lawson believes that Ricciardo will attempt to make a comeback in the next race in Qatar.
