Christian Horner: Lawson not guaranteed place

Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson has already hinted that he will leave the team if he does not receive a contract with RB or Red Bull Racing for 2025. At the last stage in Shanghai, Christian Horner said that he could not guarantee Liam a place behind the wheel of one of the cars.

“Liam Lawson is a talented driver, so it is only natural that he is now waiting for his opportunity,” said Christian Horner. “However, it is not predetermined or guaranteed when he will get a place, or whether he will get a place in principle.”

We give priority to those drivers who are currently piloting our cars. Let’s see how things work out in the future.”
