Red Bull team principal Horner has indicated that Lawson will have the chance to earn a promotion to the senior team and potentiality replace168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez, despite the Mexican being und💫er contract until the end ofไ 2025.

“We need an🥂swers for the bigger picture in terms🔯 of drivers,” Horner told the F1 Nation podcast.

“With six races remaining, it's the perfect opportunity to line Liam up alongside Yuki [Tsunoda] to see how 𓆏he performs over the remaining six grands pri꧂x.

“This goes 🔯beyond VCARB, it encompasses Red Bull Racing. Obviously we’ve got a contract with Sergio for next year, but you’ve always got to have an eye out in terms of what comes next.

After making five cameo outings last season in place of the injured Ricciardo, Lawson will get another chance to prove himself against168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda, who 🧸has already been confirm🎃ed at RB for next year.

“Last year Liam jumped in and he beat Yuki in Singapore and Japan and was quick from the outset, and he’s a tough racer⭕. We know 🌃that. He’s very adaptable,” Horner explained.

“Certainly the testing he’s done for us in the Red Bull Racing car ܫthis year has been very encouraging.

“We know that Yuki ⛄is a very fast driver. He can definitely extract☂ a lap.

“He’s not a ♋rookie anymore. It’s his fourth year of grand prix racing, he’s g🍰ot a lot of experience under his belt now.

“Taking him as th꧂e data point, we saw with Daniel where he compared to Yuki. It will be very interesting to see how Liam performs over the last six remaining races.”
