P1racenews AI automatic summary:
In just three grands prix, Liam Lawson has achieved more than AlphaTauri predecessor Nyck de Vries and fellow rookie Logan Sargeant. If Red Bull doesn’t have space for him in its Formula 1 teams in 2024, it can’t waste him as a reserve
Red Bull should prioritize securing a full-time Formula 1 seat for Liam Lawson in 2024, even if it means placing him with another team on the grid, should there be no space at AlphaTauri. Lawson has shown exceptional performance, scoring his first F1 points in just his third start, surpassing the achievements of his competitors Nyck de Vries and Logan Sargeant. Despite being initially overlooked for the role, Lawson has proven himself since joining the team. Red Bull faces a difficult decision with the impressive performances of Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda, and the likely choice for AlphaTauri’s 2024 drivers being Ricciardo and Tsunoda. The challenge lies in finding an available seat for Lawson, particularly at Williams alongside Alex Albon. Red Bull should strive to get Lawson into the Williams team next season, considering a loan deal. It would be wasteful to sideline Lawson after the momentum he has built and delay his progress as a potential future driver for Red Bull’s senior team.
