Red Bull boss Christian Horner has revealed it is “highly unlikely” that Liam Lawson will replace Sergio Perez in the team before the end of the 2024 F1 season.
After a turbulent weekend in Mexico, speculation has arisen about Sergio Perez’s future at Red Bull following his poor performance. Perez’s troubles continued as he qualified in 18th place and failed to score any points, leading to Red Bull slipping to third in the Constructors’ Championship. Red Bull’s decision to replace Daniel Ricciardo mid-season was aimed at evaluating Liam Lawson for a potential promotion to the main team. Despite Lawson’s impressive performance in the United States, Red Bull is not currently considering replacing Perez with Lawson. Perez criticized Lawson for their on-track clash, questioning Lawson’s attitude and calling for more humility and respect from the young driver. Lawson, on the other hand, has apologized for his actions during the Mexico Grand Prix.
