F1 2025: Liam Lawson Ready To Embrace 슬롯사이트�Big Opportunity슬롯사이트� With Red Bull Formula One Team

Mumbai, March 12: Liam Lawson is embracing what he calls a "big opportunity" as he prepares to race alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull, describing his full-time promotion to the team as "very, very exciting." The young New Zealander is eager to prove himself on the biggest stage in Formula 1 after spending the past two seasons as a test and reserve driver. Lawson슬롯사이트�s journey to Red Bull has been unconventional, having made just 11 mid-season Grand Prix starts with Racing Bulls (formerly AlphaTauri) across the 2023 and 2024 campaigns.

However, his performances during those outings were enough to convince Red Bull to take a chance on him, opting to part ways with Sergio Perez in favor of the promising 23-year-old. For Lawson, the move represents not just a chance to race but to cement his place in the sport.

Unlike previous Red Bull junior drivers, Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon슬롯사이트�who were promoted to the senior team only to be replaced after short stints슬롯사이트�Lawson is determined to make the most of this opportunity. Having worked within the Red Bull system for years, he feels at home in the environment and is eager to contribute.

슬롯사이트�It슬롯사이트�s the first time that I슬롯사이트�ve had a proper pre-season, so it슬롯사이트�s been quite strange to have so much time,슬롯사이트� Lawson said ahead of his debut season as a full-time Red Bull driver. 슬롯사이트�It feels like, honestly, now, I슬롯사이트�m ready to go racing.슬롯사이트�

That confidence stems not just from his familiarity with the Red Bull setup but also from his belief that he has the pace and ability to compete at the highest level. He has already been on the Formula 1 grid, albeit in a limited role, and he insists that he doesn슬롯사이트�t feel like a rookie anymore.

슬롯사이트�I feel like a rookie in Melbourne and those tracks슬롯사이트�the tracks I haven슬롯사이트�t done, for sure,슬롯사이트� he admitted. 슬롯사이트�But in F1? No. I슬롯사이트�ve been in the paddock long enough, I슬롯사이트�ve obviously done enough races, to know how the sport works and to understand it.슬롯사이트�

Despite this assertion, Lawson is still officially considered one of six rookies on the 2025 grid, alongside Mercedes슬롯사이트� Kimi Antonelli, Alpine슬롯사이트�s Jack Doohan, Haas슬롯사이트� Oliver Bearman, Racing Bulls슬롯사이트� Isack Hadjar, and Kick Sauber슬롯사이트�s Gabriel Bortoleto.

However, he sees himself in a unique position compared to the others. Having already competed in real race conditions and worked closely with Red Bull슬롯사이트�s main team, he has the advantage of experience that most newcomers lack.

슬롯사이트�Starting the season, it슬롯사이트�s going to feel quite new, just because of the tracks we슬롯사이트�re going to and because it슬롯사이트�s the start of a season, but no, in F1, I don슬롯사이트�t feel like a rookie.슬롯사이트� Carlos Sainz Recalls Pressure During Formula One Debut With Red Bull, Credits His Father For Helping Him Navigate Those Challenging Times Ahead of F1 2025 Season.

Now, the challenge will be to establish himself as a worthy partner to Verstappen, who has dominated the sport in recent years. Lawson knows he will be measured against the reigning four-time world champion, but he appears undaunted by the task ahead.

His focus remains on maximizing his potential and delivering strong performances rather than being intimidated by the stature of his teammate. The pre-season testing sessions in Bahrain have already given Lawson a taste of what to expect from the RB21, and he believes the car is in a strong position heading into the campaign.
