Red Bull have given Liam Lawson his Formula 1 wings. 

Lawson will take the Red Bull team's second seat for 2025 following the departure of Sergio Perez. 

The Kiwi driver has raced 11 times across the previous two seasons as an emergency or mid-season replacement. 

F1 Commentator Bob McMurray told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the task in front of Lawson is massive. 

He says he’ll be expected to match —or better— a four-time world champion in a team he’s moulded around himself.
