Liam Lawson was behind the wheel of the Red Bull RB20, and will also be driving the RB machine.
Liam Lawson completed a successful test day for Red Bull at Monza, fueling speculation about a potential full-time F1 seat for him in 2025. Having impressed as a test and reserve driver, Lawson’s strong performances as a stand-in in 2023 for the injured Daniel Ricciardo have caught the attention of Red Bull’s Helmut Marko. With Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda already confirmed for 2025, Lawson is in contention for one of the remaining seats, alongside Ricciardo and Sergio Perez. If Perez fails to meet expectations, Lawson or Ricciardo could potentially replace him. Lawson’s determination to secure a full-time seat in 2025 is clear, even hinting at exploring opportunities outside of the Red Bull stable. As Lawson continues to showcase his potential at Monza, other drivers like George Russell and Oliver Bearman are also making strides in the testing sessions, shaping the landscape for the upcoming F1 season.
