LIAM LAWSON

Liam Lawson is a driver who began his motorsport career in karting, where he won multiple national championships before making the jump to single-seaters. In 2017, he made his debut in Australian Formula 4, finishing runner-up in his first season. The following year, he competed in the German ADAC Formula 4 with Van Amersfoort Racing, where he also finished runner-up, standing out as one of the young promises of motorsport.

In 2019, he joined Red Bull's young driver programme and competed in Euroformula Open, the FIA ​​Formula 3 Championship and the Toyota Racing Series, winning the latter with impressive performance. In 2020, he participated in FIA Formula 3 with Hitech Grand Prix, achieving a victory and some podiums, although without challenging for the championship. His talent allowed him to move up to Formula 2 in 2021, where he also raced for Hitech, taking two wins and consolidating his reputation.

That same year, he made his debut in the DTM (German Touring Car Championship) with Red Bull AF Corse, where he came close to winning the title in his debut season, losing it in the final race due to a controversial decision. In 2022, Lawson raced in Formula 2 with Carlin, finishing third in the championship with four wins and demonstrating his ability to adapt and speed.

In 2023, he was named reserve driver for Red Bull and AlphaTauri in Formula 1. His big break came when he replaced Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri following an injury at the Dutch Grand Prix. During his brief involvement in F1, Lawson impressed with his performance, outperforming teammate Yuki Tsunoda in several races and scoring his first points at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Despite his strong performances, he did not secure a regular seat in 2024, but remained a reserve driver for Red Bull and AlphaTauri, awaiting a new opportunity in F1. His career in motorsport has been on the rise, and many consider him a strong candidate to secure a regular seat in Formula 1 in the future.
