F1 will miss him! The most smiling and friendly driver in the paddock will no longer be on the grid from the next Grand Prix, which will take place in Austin. Indeed, as had become evident since the evening of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciarco was fired by Red Bull. As a result, he must give up his seat at Racing Bulls with immediate effect.
F1: Daniel Ricciardo hangs up his helmet
His replacement is none other than the talented Liam Lawson, who stood out last year, replacing the Australian, who injured his hand after a crash at Zandvoort. Sad irony for the veteran…On the other hand, the New Zealander has a great opportunity to confirm all the good things his employers think of him. Knowing that Christian Horner needs to find a new nugget capable of replacing Max Verstappen, in the event that he leaves. Something more and more likely…
Also, it is perhaps the second seat at Red Bull Racing, that of Sergio Perez, which could be decided at the dawn of the 2025 season. Thus, depending on the performances that will be achieved by Liam Lawson, there could be change in the parent team. A scenario which would then benefit a third man, French, Isack Hadjar. Whom Helmut Marko highly values and who could be the next driver in the sector to be promoted. It remains to be determined when.
