P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Liam Lawson has impressed during his stint with AlphaTauri this year and is in line for a full-time Formula 1 seat in 2025.
Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko has stated that Liam Lawson’s potential future in Formula 1 will not necessarily mean the end for Sergio Perez at Red Bull. Lawson has been filling in as a substitute for injured Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri, impressing with his performances and scoring points in Singapore. Despite narrowly missing out on a full-time seat for 2024, Lawson’s talent is widely recognized. Ricciardo is expected to return for the United States Grand Prix, but questions have arisen regarding Perez’s recent form. Perez has struggled in the last few races, scoring just five points compared to his teammate Max Verstappen’s 62. Although Perez’s contract extends until the end of 2024, it is uncertain what his future holds. However, Marko has made it clear that Lawson’s potential opportunity in Formula 1 will not be at the direct expense of Perez.
