F1 fans are divided over how long Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson will remain team-mates at Red Bull, with over half predicting a quick break-up of the pairing.
F1 fans are divided on how long Liam Lawson will stay as Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull, as Lawson has replaced Sergio Perez after his performances last season did not meet the team’s expectations. Previous drivers promoted from Red Bull’s second team, Pierre Gasly and Alexander Albon, could not live up to the challenge, with Gasly lasting only half a season and Albon 18 months before being replaced by Perez. A recent poll by RacingNews365 shows that around 30% of fans believe Lawson will only last a single season, while more than half think he will not start the 2026 F1 season with Verstappen. The uncertainty surrounding Lawson’s tenure at Red Bull is evident in the varied opinions of fans.
