Lawson delivers ‘very tough’ admission over early Red Bull F1 requirement
Liam Lawson is anticipating a challenging start to his time at Red Bull in Formula 1, as he embarks on his first full season in the sport. Despite replacing Ricciardo towards the end of the 2024 season, Lawson is still relatively inexperienced on many F1 tracks, especially in the first half of the calendar. He is excited about the prospect of racing on new circuits but recognizes the tough road ahead as a rookie in Formula 1. Lawson expects the beginning of the season to be the most challenging but hopes to settle in as the year progresses and aims to narrow the performance gap to his teammate, Verstappen. Among the tracks he is looking forward to racing at are Albert Park in Melbourne, with Lawson expressing particular excitement for this season-opener. Overall, while he acknowledges the initial difficulties, he is also eager to take on the new challenges and experiences that lie ahead in the upcoming Formula 1 season.
