It is amazing how these situations play out behind the scenes.
Liam Lawson disclosed he was aware of his seat with Red Bull for the remainder of the F1 season two weeks before the official announcement was made on Thursday. The decision to replace Daniel Ricciardo with Lawson was made by Red Bull’s leadership before the Azerbaijan/Singapore double-header. Despite knowing about the change, Lawson had to keep it confidential until after the Singapore race. Lawson expressed his excitement in an interview with the New Zealand Herald but acknowledged the challenges ahead of him. He will start competing in the final six grands prix of the season, facing tough competition at tracks he hasn’t raced on yet. Lawson admits to having little time to celebrate as he dives right into the competitive environment of F1.
