Liam Lawson is getting ever closer to Red Bull: he will be Max Verstappen’s partner in 2025, replacing Perez
The Red Bull RB21 will not be driven by Sergio Perez: the separation between the Mexican and the Austrian team is official, after the last two decidedly disappointing years with very little satisfaction.
Who in his place? After yesterday’s rumors from Canal+, a new update arrives from Chris Medland, an authoritative source in the paddock, who reports how “Liam Lawson will most likely get the Red Bull seat in place of Sergio Perez”therefore confirming the rumors currently circulating.
And Horner doesn’t tell them: “Gap of 280 points between the two…”
Christian Hornerhowever, underlined how the defeat in the constructors’ category has a very clear reason: “…In the end, we won 9 races, achieved the most pole positions, won 4 sprints (more than any other team) and clinched the drivers’ championship with 2 races to spare. Unfortunately, we had a 280 point gap between our driverswhich has become quite expensive for the constructors’ championship.”
Then, the consideration on the contract: “Any agreement contains clauses and performance criteria, but they had no influence on Checo’s decision to retire and take a gap year. However, he will remain involved in the team.”conclude.
