Liam Lawson has fulfilled a lifelong dream by being named as Sergio Perez’s replacement at Red Bull Racing for the 2025 Formula 1 season. The 22-year-old New Zealander, who will line up alongside four-time world champion Max Verstappen, is embracing the challenge of racing for the sport’s most dominant team.


A Childhood Dream Realized

For Lawson, the announcement marks the culmination of a journey that began when he was just eight years old, dreaming of one day driving for Red Bull. Reflecting on the momentous opportunity, the young Kiwi shared his emotions:

“Being announced as an Oracle Red Bull Racing driver is a lifelong dream for me. It is something I’ve wanted and worked towards since I was eight years old. The journey to get here has been incredible.”

Gratitude for the Path to the Top

Lawson expressed heartfelt thanks to Red Bull’s sister team, VCARB, which played a pivotal role in preparing him for this leap. Having debuted with VCARB in 2023 and completed a partial season in 2024, Lawson acknowledged the foundational experience he gained during his time there:

“I want to sincerely thank the entire VCARB team for their support. The last six races have been fundamental in my preparation for this next step.”


Red Bull’s Confidence in Lawson

Red Bull’s decision to promote Lawson signals their belief in his potential to thrive in the high-pressure environment of Formula 1’s top team. The Kiwi extended his gratitude to the organization’s leadership, including Team Principal Christian Horner and Advisor Helmut Marko:

“I also want to thank Christian Horner, Helmut Marko, and the entire Red Bull family for believing in me and giving me this opportunity.”


No Margin for Error

Joining Red Bull Racing brings immense opportunity—but also enormous pressure. Known for its ruthless approach to driver management, Red Bull will expect Lawson to deliver results immediately, especially with Verstappen as his teammate. While Lawson faces a steep learning curve, his raw talent and determination position him as a potential star.

The key for Lawson will be consistency and resilience as he navigates his first full season with a top team. If he can hold his own against Verstappen, he could solidify his place as a future championship contender.


A Star in the Making

As Lawson prepares to take his place alongside Verstappen, the Kiwi’s journey serves as an inspiring reminder of what determination and talent can achieve. With the support of Red Bull Racing and his own unwavering ambition, Lawson is poised to make his mark on Formula 1.

The 2025 season will undoubtedly be a test of Lawson’s mettle. Can the young Kiwi match the expectations of racing for Red Bull? If his past performances are any indication, Lawson might just have what it takes to shine at the pinnacle of motorsport.
