Meanwhile, Red Bull Racing has confirmed that Liam Lawson will partner Max Verstappen for the 2025 season. Lawson, a New Zealand driver, stepped up to Red Bull mid-way through the 2024 season and impressed with two points-scoring finishes. He graduated from F2 in 2023 and has been part of the Red Bull Junior Programme. Lawson described joining Red Bull as a `lifelong dream` and is eager to learn from Verstappen, a four-time world champion[2].
This move follows the announcement that Sergio Perez and Red Bull have agreed to part ways after four years together. Despite signing a new deal until 2026, Perez's form dipped significantly in the latter part of the 2024 season, leading to the mutual decision to split. Perez thanked the team for the opportunities and successes they shared, including two constructors' championships and five wins for him personally[3].
