Liam Lawson could be looking at a new teammate in 2025 if paddock speculation about Sergio Perez’s career is to be believed. However, the New Zealand driver said the pressure to perform within the Red Bull family never goes away. In fact, it will likely only be heightened if Max Verstappen is on the other side of his garage next year.
“You’re always being evaluated,” Lawson shared with me on our road trip from California to Nevada ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix (you can watch the full video here). “Especially in your early years in F1, with the way our contracts are [set up] and the way the teams are judging us — we have performance clauses, so we’re always under pressure. You’re never really safe.”
