Liam Lawson is preparing for just his sixth Grand Prix start this weekend in Texas and his first of the 2024 campaign, but the young New Zealander is already being linked with a move to Red Bull. His focus, he insists, is elsewhere.

Liam Lawson is aware but not focused on Sergio Perez's uncertain Red Bull future that could earn him the promotion in 2025.

"The target or the goal that has been set out is the same as it’s always been since I was 17 and joining the programme."

Liam Lawson has admitted that he is in the dark over whether his spell with RB over the remainder of the season could lead to a Formula 1 drive with Red Bull in 2025. Lawson, who conducted five appearances last term, has returned to the F1 grid to complete the last six rounds this season with RB as Daniel Ricciardo’s replacement.

Austin - Liam Lawson will make his debut with Racing Bulls in Texas, this time as a race driver. The New Zealander replaces Daniel Ricciardo, as he temporarily did last year, effectively earning himself a full-time seat.

Liam Lawson insists he is not thinking about earning a promotion to the Red Bull senior team for F1 2025. Liam Lawson says the possibility of earning a Red Bull F1 seat for 2025 is “not in my mind” as he looks to secure a full-time drive.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner admits his team “need answers” to their driver line-up dilemma as the pressure grows on Sergio Perez. Mexican driver Perez trails teammate and championship leader Max Verstappen by 187 points after 18 races this year and has not won a grand prix since April 2023.

Sergio Perez has revealed that he had ‘two opportunities’ from other teams on the grid earlier this season but opted to stay and fight for his Red Bull future. The Mexican is contracted through until the end of 2026 but could lose his seat in six races time.
