Lawson set for Red Bull F1 role despite imminent Tsunoda deal
New Zealander Liam Lawson has made a strong impression as a stand-in driver for Daniel Ricciardo, but it appears unlikely that he will secure a full-time Formula 1 seat. Red Bull is eager to place Ricciardo at AlphaTauri next season, leaving Lawson with little chance of securing a drive for 2024. It is believed that Yuki Tsunoda and AlphaTauri have agreed to continue their partnership in 2024, so Lawson will have to wait for another opportunity. The only possible option elsewhere on the grid is a seat at Williams if Logan Sargeant is not retained. The most likely scenario is for Lawson to take on a test and reserve role at Red Bull while waiting for a potential shuffle of drivers in 2025. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner praised Lawson’s performance and confirmed that he would remain in the Red Bull family, but it is uncertain when he will have a race seat in F1.
