Liam Lawson reveals plan to call former Red Bull driver ahead of Max Verstappen challenge
Liam Lawson will ♏be contacting a former Red Bull driver ahead of his debut with the t🐻eam next year

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson plans to pick the brains of former Red Bull F1 driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon ahead of his debut with the team in 2025.
On Thursday, Red Bull announced Lawson as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s teammate for the 2025 F1 season.
Lawson has 🍒only competed in 11 grands prix, making him the least experienced💯 driver ever to join Red Bull.
However, the Kiwi’s quick adaptation to life in F1 - and strong pace despite hi꧋s littleꦰ experience relative to Yuki Tsunoda - ultimately meant he got the nod.
Lawson will have an incredibly tough task in his first full season in F1,𝔉 💃partnering Verstappen.
Verstappen has only been out-qualified 11 times since the start of 2019, dismantling 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly, Albon and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez during this time.
In an interview with , Lawson𓂃 admitted he will call Albon to get some advice ahead of his Red Bull debut.
“When we were in DTM he probably got sick 𝓀of me asking all the questions, but I did ask him a lot of questions about Red Bull and what it was like in the team ꦏand how the car was,” Lawson said.
“I know that car was different back then, but the characteristics are the same and I’ve driven it in the simulator and it is aggressive ꦕand hard to drive. He told me it was all about confidence and going up against Max that’s what it take🦋s.
“I t😼hink he’ll be somebody that I contact again knowing that, because this is all new, I’ll be on the phone to Alex in the next couple of weeks because for sure to get more info.”
Verstappen’s ‘unique driving style’
One thing Law🦹son will have to adapt to is the aggressive handling of the Red Bull car - and how it lends into Verstappen’s driving st♛yle.
Last year, Albon provided𝓡 some insight into howℱ “sharp” the front-end of the Red Bull typically is and how Verstappen is able to deal with it.
The Thai driver told the : “Everyone has a driving style, I would say my driving style is a bit more on the smooth side, but I like a car that has a good front-end, so quite sharp, quite direct. Max does too, but his level of sharp and direct is a whole different level🗹 – it’s eye-wateringly sharp.
“To g♓ive pe๊ople kind of maybe an explanation of what that might feel like, if you bump up the sensitivity [on a computer game] completely to the max and you move that mouse and it’s just darting across the screen everywhere, that’s kind of how it feels. It becomes so sharp that it makes you a little bit tense.”
