Red Bull enters the new season with Liam Lawson going up against Max Verstappen – who has a trail of defeated team-mates in his wake.
Red Bull faces a challenge as Liam Lawson steps up to join the team alongside F1 powerhouse Max Verstappen. Verstappen has a reputation as a “team-mate destroyer”, having caused pressure on past partners such as Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez. Lawson, a newbie in F1, is at risk going up against Verstappen, as pointed out by former racer Anthony Davidson. The Red Bull team’s decision to pair Verstappen and Lawson is seen as a bold move considering the challenges previous teammates have faced. The 2025 F1 World Championship begins on March 14-16th in Melbourne, Australia, exclusively on Sky Sports and NOW.
