What stands in the way of Lawson-to-Williams F1 crowd-pleaser
Red Bull has not given Liam Lawson one of its Formula 1 seats for 2024, and Williams wants to retain Logan Sargeant, reducing Lawson’s chances of being on the grid. There has been criticism of Red Bull for overlooking Lawson, especially considering his performance as a stand-in for Daniel Ricciardo. If Williams decides to keep Sargeant or choose another replacement, Lawson’s supporters would feel similarly disappointed. Lawson has had a good career in Red Bull’s junior ranks and has performed well in his F1 opportunities so far, outperforming Yuki Tsunoda and scoring points. However, Red Bull does not believe Lawson offers enough potential compared to other contenders. Lawson’s only chance for a race seat is a loan move to Williams, but it is uncertain if this will happen.
