Liam Lawson has been confirmed as the new teammate of four-time World Champion Max Verstappen at Red Bull Racing. Lawson, 22, will partner Verstappen for the 2025 season, following the departure of Sergio Perez from the team.
Lawson’s promotion is a significant opportunity for him to learn from Verstappen, who has been hailed as one of the most talented drivers in Formula One. Despite his youth, Lawson is eager to put his skills to the test alongside the experienced Verstappen and improve himself as a driver.
“I’ve had a dream since I was eight years old,” Lawson said in an interview. “To be announced as an Oracle Red Bull Racing Driver is an incredible feeling, and I’m grateful for the support of the VCARB team and the entire Red Bull family.”
Lawson’s journey to this point has been marked by stints with Red Bull’s second team over the past two seasons, where he gained valuable experience before being selected as Verstappen’s 2025 teammate.
With a new season ahead, Lawson is ready to put his skills to the test alongside Verstappen and learn from one of the most successful drivers in F1 history.
