Christijan Albers, former Formula 1 driver, is confident: Liam Lawson will be alongside Max Verstappen next year
Liam Lawson’s debut in Austin surprised everyone, and speculation about his future is already buzzing. Despite only one race under his belt, it seems certain that the New Zealand driver will be on the grid in 2025: the talent of the 2002-born racer is well-protected by Red Bull, which might be considering a stunning promotion for next year.

Christijan Albers is also confident about Lawson’s performances: the former Formula 1 driver, interviewed by De Telegraaf, expressed his full trust in the Hastings driver.
Christijan Albers’ Comments
The former Minardi driver began by saying: “Teammate of Verstappen in 2025? Perez continues to not understand how to build the weekend: he constantly focuses on Max and goes crazy… Then there’s Lawson: I’m sure he will be the one alongside Verstappen. If that doesn’t happen? Then I’ll understand that everyone at Red Bull is crazy.”.
“He will need to keep observing Tsunoda, looking at the data, and delivering performances: if it were up to me, his move to Red Bull would be certain”, he concluded.
