Lawson is also in contention for the Super Formula title in Japan - a prestigious s🦩ingle-sea♑ter championship.

Speaking on ServusTV, Marko has been impressed with how Lawson has been performing in F1 2023, declaring “the speed is there”.

“Liam has b👍een with ♐us for a while. He is a tough but very smart man in a fight, a bit like Bruce McLaren. This is certainly someone for the future.

“The speed was there [last weekend in Italy꧑], and that is a good sign.”

Lawson’s form could give Red Bull a headache as they have four drivers with jus𝓰t three🌠 seats.

Many expect Tsunoda to remain at AlphaTauri, while Daniel Ricciardo has his eyes on a fullꦍ season with the 🎀team following his surprise comeback.

However, if Lawson continues to impress, particulꦛarly if he wins the Super Formula title, Marko may be forced to make a decision.

“However, he is now still driving in the Japanese championship, and there he is second in a v⛦ery, very difficult battle. The cars are faster there than in Formula 2,” he added.

“⭕However, because it is in Japan, it is not viewed that way here.

“Maybe he can win the title there. Will he get a [full-time] seat instead of [staying൲] a reserve driver? That could happen quickly.”
