Liam Lawson : The Full Story of His 2024 F1 Season

Liam Lawson’s 2024 season showcased undeniable talent, earning Red Bull’s trust and a career-defining opportunity alongside Max Verstappen.

Liam Lawson knew last year that he would get a chance behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car during the 2024 season. However, the New Zealand driver had no further details. Over time, doubts crept in, as Red Bull Racing seemed intent on retaining Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo until the season’s end.

Ricciardo’s exit after Singapore, however, opened the door for Lawson to seize his opportunity, with the clear objective of proving himself for a potential Red Bull seat in 2025. After a promising stint in 2023, he delivered another strong start this year.

He finished ninth in Austin and repeated that result in the torrential rain of Brazil. He also excelled in qualifying in Mexico, securing fifth, though Yuki Tsunoda outshone him with a third-place performance.

Overall, Tsunoda outperformed Lawson in the six races they contested together, but this did not prevent Red Bull’s decision-makers from seeing greater potential in Lawson when selecting Max Verstappen’s teammate for 2025.

With 11 races under his belt, Lawson will be the least experienced driver to race for Red Bull, but his determination on and off the track has earned him the spot. His challenge, however, is immense: competing alongside Verstappen.

Fortunately, Red Bull is not expecting him to outperform the four-time reigning world champion but rather to do better than Sergio Pérez. His mission will be to stay close in points and help Red Bull secure both world titles if the RB21 allows.
