Liam Lawson has a full-time seat in F1 for the first time in his career this season with Red Bull, giving him the possibility to claim a major milestone.
Liam Lawson will be driving the best F1 car of his career at Red Bull this season. The last time a driver from New Zealand won an F1 race was in 1974, by Denny Hulme. Lawson has impressed team principal Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko, earning a promotion to the main Red Bull team. Despite the pressure of competing alongside Max Verstappen, Lawson has patiently waited for this opportunity. While Red Bull may not have the most competitive car on the 2025 grid, Lawson will have the chance to fight for race wins. It remains to be seen if Lawson can claim victory this year, as Verstappen will be a strong contender from the season opener.
