Liam Lawson Biography
Liam Lawson forms part of RB’s line-up for 2025, following a return to the team from Red Bull after the first two races of the season.
In his native New Zealand, Lawson claimed many trophies and top-spot finishes in karting, before moving into single-seaters in 2015.
He made his FIA F3 debut in 2019, becoming a part of the Red Bull junior team that same year, finishing 11th overall with MP Motorsport. In 2020, he finished fifth with Hitech, and made the move up into F2 for the following year.
He finished ninth in 2021, before a third-placed result in 2022. He then moved into Super Formula, and served as Red Bull and AlphaTauri’s reserve driver at the same time. He finished second in Super Formula in 2023, and made his Formula 1 debut with AlphaTauri the same year, filling in for the injured Daniel Ricciardo following a crash in Zandvoort.

21st - 4 points
Lawson impressed many with his 2023 performances, but remained on the sidelines as Red Bull and RB’s reserve driver for the start of the 2024 season.
After the Singapore GP, he replaced the outgoing Ricciardo and teamed up with Tsunoda for the remainder of the season.
