Liam Lawson will be back racing in F1 this weekend at RB, replacing Daniel Ricciardo ahead of the US Grand Prix.
Liam Lawson is making a comeback to the F1 circuit this weekend at the United States Grand Prix, stepping into RB’s seat and replacing Daniel Ricciardo based on performance. After impressing during his debut at Zandvoort last year, Lawson’s early return signals Red Bull’s broader plans beyond simply filling a seat. Despite being sidelined for most of this season, Lawson’s strong impact last year has positioned him as more than just a rookie, setting high expectations for his performance in Austin, Texas. Red Bull is eyeing a boost in the constructors’ championship, especially with Sergio Perez’s inconsistent form potentially opening the door for a future replacement alongside Max Verstappen. Lawson may be vying for a front-running seat at Red Bull as part of an audition with teammate Yuki Tsunoda, positioning himself for a potential drive at a championship-winning team in the near future.
