P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Red Bull should replace Perez with Lawson – Jordan
Perez has struggled throughout the 2023 season, winning only two races compared to Verstappen’s 13, who can potentially secure the title at the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix. Lawson, a Red Bull reserve driver, has had the chance to make his F1 debut with AlphaTauri due to Ricciardo’s injury. Lawson has impressed in his four appearances, scoring AlphaTauri’s best result of the year in Singapore. However, he has been overlooked for a full-time race seat next year with AlphaTauri confirming their 2024 lineup as Tsunoda and Ricciardo. Eddie Jordan suggests that if Red Bull decides to replace Perez, they should choose Lawson for the potential vacancy alongside Verstappen. On the other hand, Jordan believes that Piastri should be targeted before promoting Lawson, as he considers Piastri the real deal and a sought-after driver. Lawson will have another F1 outing in Qatar this weekend, while Ricciardo will delay his return until the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
