Red Bull's Rising Star: Liam Lawson

Liam Lawson, the 22-year-old New Zealander, will join Red Bull in 2025 and drive alongside Max Verstappen.

Liam Lawson has been announced as Sergio Perez's replacement for the 2025 Formula 1 season. The 22-year-old New Zealander will be four-time world champion Max Verstappen's teammate. It is a bold call from Red Bull as Lawson has made just 11 grand prix starts across two seasons for their junior team, RB. Lawson joined Red Bull's junior academy in 2019 after winning the Toyota Racing Series. He then did two years in Formula 3 and two in Formula 2, finishing third in 2022. Red Bull boss Christian Horner has told ESPN it was a marginal call between Lawson and his former RB teammate Yuki Tsunoda.
