P1racenews AI automatic summary:
For the first time in his fledgling F1 career, Liam Lawson will savour a proper pre-season build-up.
Liam Lawson is relieved to avoid a tough start to the season, unlike his past two campaigns as a reserve driver for Red Bull and AlphaTauri in 2023. His five-race cameo as a replacement for Daniel Ricciardo was challenging due to Ricciardo’s injury at the Dutch Grand Prix weekend. With Red Bull confirming Lawson’s full-time position for the upcoming season, he looks forward to experiencing his first proper pre-season build-up in his F1 career. Having already competed in 11 races and shown potential against Yuki Tsunoda, Lawson aims to adapt and find his preferred car balance with Red Bull. He acknowledges that learning these details takes time, but he is ready to work alongside Max Verstappen and improve his performance.
