Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master's degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.
A few days ago, Red Bull formalized the tenure of young Liam Lawson for the 2025 season. The talented New Zealander will therefore drive alongside Max Verstappen next season, even if the Austrian team had checked other names. Recently, Christian Horner notably explained why RB had not decided to sign Carlos Sainz.
The future looks bright for Red Bull. And Max Verstappen won a fourth consecutive world championship title in 2024, the Austrian team only finished third in the constructors' standings. The fault of very disappointing performances on the part of Sergio Perezwho after many weeks of speculation, was finally fired by Red Bull. Training led by Christian Horner bet on the young Liam Lawsonfrom the local training program and passed through Racing Bulls.
“Carlos is a great driver, and the options always remain open with him in the future”
But lately, Horner revealed that Red Bull could have signed Carlos Sainz after leaving home Ferrari. “Carlos is a great driver, and the options always remain open with him in the future. “It was considered and in many ways you could say there was real logic in signing Carlos, but we made the choice to look internally and believe in the junior program.”he revealed in comments relayed by Next-Gen Auto.
“If we had gone outside of the program, it would not have sent the right message”
“It attracts more juniors to sign with us rather than another academy because they see a clear path possible into Formula 1. And if we had gone outside of the program it wouldn't have sent the right message, because there is so much competition between teams for young drivers, even at 13 or 14 years old. “It's healthy because it allows you to invest in young talent, but by joining the Red Bull program you see a clear path which, if you succeed, practically guarantees you to get to Formula 1.”concludes the director of Red Bull.
